John Carmack - Doom 3 Engine Technology Interview

John Carmack, id Software, Doom 3 Engine Technology Interview

[@syntaxed2]

Doom 3 was so far ahead of its time that it still looks ok - Bump mapping, normal mapping, PBR, pixel perfect shadow volumes

[@optchurch1402]

When people complain that eternal doesn't look realistic, and John basically said 16+ years before that photorealism would not work with the classic doom formula. And he's right. I'm so glad eternal went more into the classic doom esthetic

[@NightWanderer31415]

Perhaps, but Doom 2016 struck a better balance between realism and arcade shooting gameplay.

[@p46stefan]

Doom3 is a masterpiece!

[@ralphserr6341]

If this guy still focused on better game engines for Doom, the games would be incredibly jawdropping. Doom Eternal looks beast, but if Carmack was on the team, I think it would be outta this world. Doom Eternal looks great, but it isn't a jump into another era. That's what Carmack did; he pushed games into the next level.

Although.... we are honestly at the point where there won't be giant leaps like there was from Wolfenstein 3D and DOOM and then Quake only a few years later. We sort of plateaued

[@darkknightniner9862]

@@aurastudios9801 But there isn't lol. We are to near photorealism. John Carmack was right to leave id for virtual reality. That is the next step. Graphics won't see any more enormous leaps because we are at the final plateau for it...

Doom 2016 was definitely impressive, though. Groundbreaking designs like Carmack innovates are few and far between in gaming these days. Right now the big thing is ray tracing which Doom doesn't have.

Amazing video, John Carmack is my hero. Listening the legend talk about technical stuff is really cool.

[@andrewbladerunner]

I definitely look up to him also, he is an inspiring figure for sure. Reading about the early days when he was figuring out how to create a side scrolling game for the PC before it had been done was really fascinating

[@zatozatoichi7920]

All hail John D. Carmack II!

2:21 Instead of "decimate", something like "transfer" or "process" would be better terms. Yes, "decimation" is the name of a tool that reduces polygons, but a normal map is a polygon-less texture that reflects the full polygon detail of the model.
