Join me as I explore TLWater, a fascinating DirectX 7 tech demo from the year 2000. This demo, created by Tomohide Kano, simulates dynamic water and lighting effects, showcasing early 2000s graphics technology. From realistic water distortion to the use of vertex blending for streetlight modeling, TLWater highlights the potential of hardware-accelerated transform and lighting. Let’s dive into this nostalgic slice of retro graphics tech and marvel at the creativity of early 3D rendering!
