The choice of LithTech
Lithtech
bridges gaps between art and engine. It bridges gaps between multiple
screens.
Let's review the chart:
| Engine | Skin
Morph/ Skeletal Anim |
Art pipeline | 1
Computer/ 5 Computer |
Network latency | Processor/Bus Usage |
Robustness | Speed
to dev. (Iterations) |
Legal Stuff |
| Alice | Nope | Great | One | None | High | Fair | Great | Free Gift |
| Unreal (old/new) | Yes | Good | Five | Yes | Reasonable | Good | Great | Free |
| Lithtech | Yes | Great | Five | Minimal | Reasonable | Great | Ok | No problem! |
| Panda 3D | Yes | Not
at ETC (yet) |
One | None | High | Great | Great | Free |
The red entries are engine killers. Notice the green entry. That is what
swayed the tower of choice towards the Lithtech camp. Also, the acquisition
of the newest Lithtech version, Jupiter, which is really a better system.
