DX11 Support. What do you wish for?

[Valmonte]

I think dragonheart hit every possible bonus of DX11 lol

I want those :P.

its all possible in DirectX 9, though it would turn the game into Final Fantasy: The Really Final Fantasy Picture Book

Of course - you dont even need any DX in the first place to do any of it. But you best have a god of a graphics programmer and a huge ass dev cycle.. lol

DX11 would just make it easier / much faster to implement the complex features.

thats not true, DirectX isn't a Gaming Engine. think of it more as a Templet of what your Graphics Engine could do.

this game could be run through DirectX 7.1 however several features of the game engine would be lost, Most notably particle effects would not show up this includes dust, weather effects, and several character animation. DirectX 7 would treat this as garbage and toss it away. in order to prevent this All particle renders would have to be done via software and this would eat up huge amounts of both Vram and System Memory.

the Primary Reason AO in FFXIV is so taxing is because its done via software rendering and the reason for that is DirectX 9 Doesn't have hardware support for AO...it Having a Memory Leak doesn't help either.

You can use directx to draw objects.... Besides the point you could use opengl or write in your own features.

DirextX upgrades would just ugprade previous codes and have new features built in for faster development (which is what I said..)

I wish for.... DX11 support.

The game looks very astatically pleasing to the eye and I can’t wait to get in to alpha and help the devs. make it a better game. But the reality is, when it comes to graphics the game is running on old tech. The good news, we know that our lovely producer is planning DX11 support as we speak. This thread is simply a wish list of what you might want to see upgraded with DX11. It would be nice if you post pictures or videos showcasing what you would like to see improve.

For me I would love to see an increase in texture quality.



what do you wish for? post pics and videos.

Keep this thread friendly please.
