Allegorithmic's texture solution
As multicore CPUs come to market, so too does software that uses the new technology to deliver advanced game play. One example: Allegorithmic's Substance, which authors and generates high-quality dynamic textures in realtime. Designed to best use Intel's Streaming SIMD Extensions 4(SSE4) instruction set, the app streams two to four times more detailed texture data in realtime without using the GPU.
Sebastien Deguy, president of Allegorithmic, says that the new technology breaks the limits caused by linear data storage and the erratic seek and random access times that users face when reading data from DVDs. The node-based interface featuresa completely reworked authoring tool, Substance Mixer, and a new rendering engine, Substance Engine. www.allegorithmic.com
