Hi Guys, I think that depending on your goals both approaches are good:
- binding to OpenGL it would be very cool to have a working/solid solution in this area. As Henrik and Marcus said, native support would be great. If I remember correctly, Lumiere is not very usable. Perhaps with NativeBoost and its GL bindings could be a way to go. - software 3D (no hardware support) As Alex said, for simple stuff it could be enough and it is easier to ensure portability. But be carreful of the size of your scenes because I think that Moose graphs could be huge and it could be really really slow...
