Lightscape (Light-03) Viewset

Taken from: http://www.spec.org/gpc/opc.static/light.htm

The Lightscape Visualization System from Discreet Logic represents a new generation of computer graphics technology that combines proprietary radiosity algorithms with a physically based lighting interface.

There are four tests specified by the viewset that represent the most common operations performed by the Lightscape Visualization System:

Test Weight DRV functionality represented 
1 25% Walkthrough wireframe rendering of "Cornell Box" model using line loops with colors supplied per vertex. 
2 25% Full-screen walkthrough solid rendering of "Cornell Box" model using smooth-shaded z-buffered quads with colors supplied per vertex. 
3 25% Walkthrough wireframe rendering of 750K-quad Parliament Building model using line loops with colors supplied per vertex. 
4 25% Full-screen walkthrough solid rendering of 750K-quad Parliament Building model using smooth-shaded z-buffered quads with colors supplied per vertex. 

The performance here is low for all of the contenders, the main issues that need to be stressed are those relating to visual quality. But since this is the performance section of our evaluation we will only concentrate on performance, which once again falls into the lap of the GeForce.

    Welp, if we’re going to be children...

    First is worst. Second’s best.

    Reading this all these years later I realize several things. I miss
    - single slot cards
    - having more than just two gpu vendors
    - video cards with green PCBs

    Good old PCI bus. I don't miss AGP though... glad PCIe came along to to allow one standard for all add-on cards.
