That doesn't sound right.... or am I missing something? This makes it sound like after the first frame is created the GPU doesn't have much else to do for all subsequent frames. So what so what happens when there is an expolsion? a building collapses? some NPCs r even the player (if third person) appears on screen.... with every new frame not only are all of these things in a new position, but animation means that they may also look different. Doesnt that mean that the entire scene is redrawn with every frame? I know there are things that deosnt have t be drawn from scratch every frame but....... |
during an animation, the models and textures dont have to be redrawn, they just have to be moved. in the case of an explosion, the whole explosion has to be rendered and animated
