The partnership includes the integration of RTT DeltaGen and RealTrace tools, which enable car designers to render CAD models in real time, with Codemasters' EGO Game Technology Engine, which drives the development of racing games such as Colin McRae: DiRT and Race Driver: GRID.
"Both companies share common goals, including a passion for technology excellence and attention to detail and quality," said Bryan Marshall, chief technical officer of Codemasters. "These goals are demonstrated equally in such executions as the beauty of real-time ray-traced light clusters in RTT's DeltaGen software and the mesmerizing race action and environmental detail in our own Race Driver: GRID. Any collaboration with RTT that delivers advantageous results for our development pipeline will be immensely valuable."
