I think I understood this is what you meant, but I'm not invincible by any stretch. It is good to make sure something is achievable in the limited time available. > So for instance the 3D view, would you issue one call like "3D view, > draw thyself", then composite widgets & overlays on top of that based > on a script?

I do not think it really "goes deeper" except, for example, you might be able to support something like deferred lighting eventually. I say "eventually" because my goal at this point is not to provide a full game engine like capability like you'd see in Unreal or Unity. Honestly, this is to just to be able to do a couple of things I want to do for sculpt, but which actually fall into the category of view port drawing :) > Mike Erwin > musician, naturalist, pixel pusher, hacker extraordinaire > > > > On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 7:06 PM, Jason Wilkins > <jason.a.wilk...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Tue, Mar 27, 2012 at 4:50 PM, Michael Fox <mfoxd...@gmail.com> wrote: >>> Oh yes it is more then a mess, its a nightmare, I am trying to add view >>> tessellation option to the view port, and im having one hell of a hard >>> time. we defiantly need an cleaning out >> >> I'm curious what you are trying to do. >> >> To answer Mike's question about if I can handle this, yes, I am rather >> confident.
