The Future of Real-Time Graphics

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the art-at-many-frames-per-second dept.

Bender writes "This article lays out nicely the current state of real-time computer graphics. It explains how movie-class CG will soon be possible on relatively inexpensive consumer graphics cards, considers the new 'datatype rich' graphics chips (R300 and NV30), and provides a context for the debate shaping up over high-level shading languages in OpenGL 2.0 and DirectX 9. Worth reading if you want to know where real-time graphics is heading."

    Did I say that? No it would seem I did not. Are you projecting perhaps? Not everyone is a code theif. I simply dont like the GPL and wont touch it. That says nothing about contributing back to a project or even if I was going to charge money for my efforts.
