OpenGL Presentation at Siggraph Available

Posted by pudge on from the extreme-y-goodness dept.

Visigothe writes "Siggraph has made available the Apple Quartz Extreme Demonstration PDF. The PDF has an overview of some interesting Quartz Extreme features, including the OpenGL calls that are made, as well as the new OpenGL extensions that Apple created for their upcoming Jaguar release. This is going to be a very interesting window system indeed!"

    what interested me the most was the absolute limitless posibility of enhancements, and hacks. mind you 3d can go from flat like QE and South Park(they use Alias|Wavefront software) to Quake 3. i wonder when OSX is going to show more of its 3d nature soon. like 3d modeled icons would be cool, and theyd animate when you clicked them, like the dock icons. or a screensaver that replaced the defailt lighting to two spotlights that dance around on your desktop, with real shadows.

    theres plenty of good GLhackers out there, itll be interesting to se what they can do, mac kack 2003/4 will be prove interesting.
