Wow I couldn't have said it any better and I couldn't agree with you more. Carrying around such legacy hw/apis can and does get in the way of catering to the needs of higher end developers. Besides we're not talking about requires 8 cores and 8 gigs of gpu memory. We're talking about a fairly reasonable up-tick in min. spec in my opinion. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
