    I usually think of CAD as an architect's design tool program for creating printable images of intended "blueprints" that can be seen in multiple different angles. Thus I have never used it for myself, but I have been tempted to a number of times.

    This episode may be a bad example, but I do get a kick of of the ones where they put 2 competing products on at once, and one just completly wrecks the other. How did they get away with that without fights/arguments and lawsuits? lol
    It is quite entertaining, tho, to see the competitors watching the other guy's demo (which is certainly present here).

      As the late 1980s went, they might have been thinking, "The ROI is better if we spend what we have on R&D than Legal."
      I forget which judge said to both parties of a 21st-century IP suit, "If you spent as much money developing marketable products as you did on lawsuits, you'd have far better bottom lines."

      Not really, the two programs are aimed at very different markets and pricepoints - one for a home user with an average PC, the other aimed at a professional user with a higher-end, more expensive PC, the the latter costing far more than the former.

      ​@@vurpo7080Wolfenstein 3D used on a 2D plane rays to detect wall cells already in 1992 before Doom. The name 3D is a bit misleading though. Because all you really get in Wolfenstein is the vanishing point of a very limited perspective camera. Good for turning around the Y axis and nothing else.
      There is a reason why Wolf could run on such crappy hardware back then. It took a lot of shortcuts.

    27:44 Cue much wailing and gnashing of teeth by Adobe. But in fact that never came to pass.
    Microsoft licensed its newly-acquired PostScript clone to Apple, in return for which it got access to TrueType. One of them turned out to be spectacularly successful, the other was never heard from again.
    Guess which company got the better deal?

    17:41 Raytracing my Arse! What did you use 4 rays with 0 bounces? Actually that would still be pretty impresive to me if they do it in a quick time. I know games could do that in real time for a long time but that long time was like 20 years ago. Which started with wolfenstein where it was for the AI and latter for some games light which just used simply raytracing as precomputing for the light calculations after wards. But that was too pretty impressive for their time utilizing raytracing for that. It is not like today where we literally can fully raytrace scenes (not in real time trough).

      I've seen you make a few ignorant comments on these videos, it's getting to difficult to ignore in case you spread your ignorance to others. Yes what you see around 17:41 is generated through ray tracing as he says, of course it is not done real time but he does not imply such a thing to begin with. Also learn the difference between various ray cast and trace algorithms as this type of ray tracing has nothing to do with the wolfenstein you're talking about.
