3D Engine: 3Dream

Group Description

The 3Dream was developed by the internal R&D team within DiD (Digitial Image Design). It's internal codename was "Hovis" as a humourous reference to being "Better Bred". Although written primarily in 'C' with some assembly, itwas designed using object-oriented techniques. It's graphics technologies enabled innovative features on Katmai (aka PII with MMX) on Wargasm. These included real-time dynamic environment mapping on the water, cloth-modelling on camo nets and a volumetric particle effect system.

As well as running on PC, versions of the engine also ran on Nintendo 64 and PC.

3Dream continued to be innovated past the demise of DiD as part of the selling off of DiD to Rage from Infogrames.
