Dear god, directx does not internally use opengl. This discussion is bloody retarded, you're not a coder, you've admitted it. Can you just DROP it? I'm sick of getting this crap in my email.

Look at this: I think you are inteligent enough to find out what grep does, it's a nice tool. [EMAIL PROTECTED] src_main $ grep -r glBegin * Binary file dx8sdk/lib/d3dx8dt.lib matches Binary file dx8sdk/lib/d3dx8.lib matches Binary file dx9sdk/lib/d3dx8dt.lib matches Binary file dx9sdk/lib/d3dx9dt.lib matches Binary file dx9sdk/lib/d3dx8.lib matches Binary file dx9sdk/lib/d3dx9.lib matches engine/gl_test.cpp: glBegin (GL_LINES); utils/vbsp/gldraw.cpp: glBegin (GL_POLYGON); utils/vview/gl_rsurf.cpp: glBegin( GL_POLYGON ); Binary file utils/viewbump/glut32.dll matches [EMAIL PROTECTED] src_main $ As you can see, DirectX uses internaly OpenGL.
