With quadruple the performance of the first Wildcat product, Wildcat II delivers on the promise of the Wildcat Architecture, which enables cost-effective scalability without redesigning the architecture. As a result, graphics professionals such as animators, MCAD users, visualization professionals, and 3D content creators can experience productivity benefits that go straight to their companies' bottom lines. We look forward to working with 3Dlabs to integrate the Wildcat II graphics solution as a part of our Leadership Graphics Program. The first Wildcat II graphics accelerator is expected to be available this Fall in upcoming workstations from industry-leading vendors. Additionally, Wildcat II graphics are designed with the power to stay ahead of the demands of the next generation systems.
Users can expect significant performance boosts as system bandwidth and processor speed increases.
The demos are also highly interactive, allowing professionals in a variety of fields to see for themselves how their productivity can skyrocket with Wildcat II's performance, quality, and functionality. The Wildcat II drives a simulation of a complex propeller mechanism composed of over 164,000 polygons. Simulated dandelion seeds float in the air and respond to the air flow using physics flight models. Wildcat II demonstrates the quality of its per-pixel fog in a compelling undersea simulation of a whale gliding over the shallow ocean floor. Viewers can try a number of the Wildcat II's fog models and adjust them interactively to simulate various conditions in the ocean's mysterious underworld.
