Need the function/ procedure name for video pathing

[Kiwi]

I wanted to run a search for mentions of the automatic pathing/ scaling/ whatever it is that adjusts the game graphics to match to the relative capability of the video hardware. From there, I wanted to try to find out how big of a deal it is to include that sort of capability in animated 3D programs, such as games with engines of their own, as opposed to Source.

(If source is special in that regard, that also would be a good thing to know.)

I plucked off an eMail address from the topmost stickied thread to see if "Rick E" was still with Valve, and could answer some part of this, but that eMail address is now a dead end.

But I don't even know (any more; I'm assuming that when I've read about it before, the authors didn't say whatchamacallit, or thingamajig, or whatsitsname, but my leaky memory allowed whatever it's called to slip away) what Valve's name for it is.

If you're from South Texas, why is your name Kiwi?

Having been born down there, and lived in a number of places after that . .

I've liked Texas better than most of the other places that I've been. It was my parents' home while they were still living; I came back here to bury Mother, and by the time the estate was settled, so was I.

Is this not a particularly informative community here after all then?
