My GL days started in the 90's My graphics started much earlier when I started working with such treasures as Z80,Z81, Commodore 64/Vic20, Amstrad, BBC computer,Acorn, TI 99/4a etc Working on games for all of these flavours, and those were the simple days of graphics :)
Eventually getting to play with $16m SGI super-rack systems :), it was great I got paid to play with large SGI iron :) Now my $400 card has more general graphics power than those $16m beasts, apart from being able to handle and push data around it will be good when PC get the same speed and bandwidth that SGI's could and still can push around ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Capture the magic of Christmas this year see http://www.capturethemagic.com ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Gordon Tomlinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.vis-sim.com www.gordontomlinson.com ____________________________________________________________________________ __ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Raymond de Vries Sent: Friday, November 28, 2008 10:05 AM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] maxTime( OpenGL, OSG ) Hi Umit, Take your time to get addicted to graphics :-) Me too, I have started in 1992 or so with OpenGL on the oh so nice Silicon Graphics Indigo (http://www.sgizone.net/indigo/) with which they worked when they were creating Jurassic Park... Some years later I worked with CAVEs with Performer and OpenGL. Currently, I am also still using OpenGL and OpenSceneGraph. I realized that it is very useful to understand the issues of videocards, and how they perform and thus influence performance. Also, I think it is always good to know pure OpenGL to work with OpenSceneGraph. Have fun!
