New Graphics Engine Coming to Your Wii

April 18th, 2008 | Category: Nintendo Wii

This is very exciting! The guys by at High Voltage Software have just announced a project in the works for the Wii. that new game is called The Conduit, but more importantly is the fact that they have created a new engine from the ground-up for that game, named Quantum3.

Features:

Dynamic bump-mapping
Reflection and refraction
Light / shadow maps
Projected texture lights
Specular and Fresnel effects
Emissive and iridescent

materials
Advanced alpha blends
Light beams / shafts
Gloss and detail mapping
Interactive water with dual-wave channels
Heat distortion and motion blur

Among other things. that game is already looking to be one of the most graphically-impressive titles on the Wii, and it doesn’t even have a publisher yet. Let’s hope that greatness comes from these guys. I’ve got my fingers crossed.
