I've talked to the webgl community about this, and
their reply was it could
be done, without a reference
sorry reference [1]
? Are you looking to just reproduce the look or are you
also wanting to
reproduce the technology used back then?
I just want to reproduce the look
i've found a program called REND386 v5[2] (DOS based)
it dose not support texture mapping and only works @ 320x200 (mode 13h)
but it can load in PLG files[3]
its a start in the right direction
for my model I am looking at doing
* Isometric projection
* objectvr[4]
* at a later date I may use webgl
If just the former, it's not hard at all, since
you're simply using
existing technology in a lower fidelity mode.
its not that easy as it seams a lot
of the styling needs to be done using a Shading Language
witch is only support on some newer graphics cards
