Hi all. I was invited to join only today therefore I hope you bear with me whilst I bring myself up-to-speed. I'm a pro 3D developer with 10 years experience working on commercial stuff. I've written drivers and also wrote an OpenGL/Direct3D shader convertor for ATI (now AMD). I'm also major fan of Thief. I've played 99.9% of FM's out there. Calendra's Legacy is high on my list but I think Thief2X is the pinnacle of TMA FM's. Pity I had to install WinXP with an ATI card to catch up on FM's - Vista with an 8800 card is subject to the awful dithering issue. I also enjoyed TDS [runs for cover ]. Perhaps it's the monster machine I have (with the enhanced texture pack), the soothing presense of Stephen Russell's voice or just that I've blocked out the travesties (falling off ledges/beams when leaning - HA! ). BTW A link to my portfolio: http://sio2.g0dsoft.com. I'm currently working on DX10 stuff - actually I've just sent a bug report to the Direct3D team today.
