An Open Source Direct3D 8.0 Wrapper for Open GL

Posted by timothy on from the rosetta-stone dept.

Jason writes: "RealTech-VR, creators of the V3X 3D engine, also developed a Direct3D-to-OpenGL wrapper and they have now open sourced their work. They are seeking for more hackers to help porting the wrapper to Linux and MacOS. A lot of the functionality of Direct3D is already ported but it still needs quite some work. Get the scoop at OSNews."

    At some point, Linux has to grow up beyond the "fight-the-power" angst-filled culture that is quickly alienating it from the corporate market (wonder why you don't see quite so many people pushing Linux anymore? It has a bad rep in corporate America.)
    Good. Corporate American can go fuck itself. They're responsible for 90% of the problems we have now. Fuck their greed and fuck their pride.
