my take is this. 1. an opengl windows port is easiest. realistically we'd end up making an almost-opengl-like wrapper around d3d to make it possible to support both with a common 3d rendering core anyway. how we'd handle GLSL tho i don't know. 2. if we use opengl on windows then we are using (hopefully) someone elses wrapper around d3d OR a driver that bypasses d3d and goes right to the hw, thus ultimately being more efficient. 3. i HEAR the opengl driver quality on windows is "iffy" and thus d3d sounds good, but if it's no worse than on linux, i'd say let's use it. we still have software to fall back on and we can black/whitelist gl drivers on windows (already do in the gl code on linux anyway). i don't know about the actual state of gl on windows. this is just what i hear, but life would be a LOT easier if we used gl on windows as well. > And Vincent, I think we should hear the e-dev people's opinion here. > > Actually, I've thought gl_win port is enough for windows also. > > Because most drivers are supporting OpenGL now. > > If it doesn't support because of any reason i.e version, then actually, > > Nothing we should do now but user should upgrade their device. > > In the future, there will be no need to maintain d3d module anymore. > > ------------------------------------ > -Regards, Hermet- > -----Original Message----- > From: "ChunEon Park"<[email protected]> > To: "Enlightenment developer > list"<[email protected]>; Cc: > Sent: 2012-08-22 (수) 23:10:01 > Subject: Re: [E-devel]TO:Vincent.
