The State of OpenGL

Posted by michael on from the graphic-violence dept.

CowboyRobot writes "No longer vapor, but a true 3D-embedded engine, OpenGL is on the move. Pixar and others would love to be able to render their movies in realtime, and that desire has prompted the intended release of OpenGL 2.0, due in a few months. Khronos is now in charge of further extending OpenGL to cellphones and handheld gaming devices."

    microsoft must love him (uh-huh) for making all his games (quake-s, doom-s) and the subsequent engines based on OpenGL; they must really love him because those engines are the mona-lisas of computer science, best.engines.ever.;

    ps, OpenGL [2] >= DirectX [9]; embarrasing, every f*cking year a new version, then you have to buy a new video card, a f*cking joke.
    GO OGL! :)
