3Dc - a few questions

[dawurz]

() will HL2 support 3Dc supported out of the box? (edit, seems like the answer is "yes")

() how is Source using 3Dc? (anywhere normal maps are used?, only on the normal maps for characters?). i thought 3Dc was only for normal map compression for characters, then i saw this post: http://forums.sudhian.com/messageview.cfm?catid=74&threadid=60270.

() does 3Dc operate with AA and AF?

thank you.

1. 3Dc seems very easy to implement, so probably yes.
2. All normal maps get compressed.
3. dunno
