Virtua Fighter/Technical information

From Sega Retro

Back to: Virtua Fighter.

In comparison, Virtua Fighter was fully 3D (using 3D polygons for both the fighters and environments), the 3D fighters resembled humans (using polygons for individual limbs, fingers, eyes, ears, nose, mouth and hair). The human body had never before been rendered with such detail using polygons in a video game.[1] It also had a character physics engine, free-flowing camera system, and realistic martial arts simulation gameplay.

In the original Model 1 arcade version, each 3D character in the game is rendered with around 2000 polygons, while the ground uses more than 220 polygons.[2] Akira is rendered with 2300 polygons, while Dural uses 2600 polygons. The game thus renders at least 5420 polygons per frame, pushing at least 162,600 polygons/sec at 30 frames/sec.

Since the Saturn is capable of texture mapping and Gouraud shading, the number of polygons needed for the Saturn version is less. As a result, the Saturn version renders each character with 550 polygons, while the ground is rendered using 220 polygons, adding up to 1,300 polygons per frame for the Saturn version.[2] The Saturn version thus renders 39,000 polygons/sec at 30 frames/sec.
