UT2003 Software Renderer

The Unreal Technology Website (thanks Frans) now offers a zip file with the integration of RAD's Pixomatic software renderer into UT2003. They also suggest lowering screen resolution for software rendering should you have a slower CPU (which is probably most likely, since this is also targeted at users without adequate hardware 3D acceleration). This thread on the UT2003 is where to post questions or bug reports about this.

FWIW, Mike Abrash wrote Pixomatic and Mike Sartain (both now at RAD) did all the integration work into UT2003. I just polished some of it and changed our high level rendering code a bit to better facilitate software rendering.

Most people seem to forget that cheap new PCs (e.g. BestBuy/ DELL) come with horrible integrated graphics and no AGP slot though have a really powerful CPU which is a prime candidate for software rendering. Instead of having to return the game customers can now at least see that it's worth upgrading... our at least we hope so

We recently rented three "tricked out" machines for E3 and imagine our surprise when we realized that they didn't come with an AGP slot to put our shiny new graphics cards in
