correct, the SDK enables the REF device. the REF device is different from the old RGB sw rasterizer.
the REF device is provided as a prototype and debugging tool only, is only part of the SDK, is not part of the redist runtime, and is not allowed to be redisted onto end-users machines. it is good for prototyping in advance of hw supporting a feature, or for help in determining driver bugs, eg if it runs on the REF but not on a particular driver, thats 99.9999% a driver bug. I say to 6 9s since there is a chance that the REF does have a bug. the old RGB sw rasterizer is only supported on the DX 7 and earlier interfaces. > -----Original Message----- > From: Kelvin Chung [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, April 24, 2002 7:04 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] DirectX > > > >Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 20:29:02 -0500 > >From: Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Subject: Re: [JAVA3D] DirectX > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >MIME-version: 1.0 > >X-MIMEOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000 > >Content-transfer-encoding: 8BIT > >X-Priority: 3 > >X-MSMail-priority: Normal > >Delivered-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > >I don't think DX8 has a reference or emulation mode, it was > discontinued > >after DX7. > > > >IMO If you're using DX8 you're going to have to have 3D hardware > >acceleration. > > > > Under DX8.0, you need to do: > > Start Control Panel->DirectX, then select the Direct3D tab > and check the box "Enumerate Reference Rastererizer" > > If that option is not available, try install > the DX8 SDK install of just the runtime. > > - Kelvin > ------------------ > Java 3D Team > Sun Microsystems Inc. > > ============================================================== > ============= > To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and > include in the body > of the message "signoff JAVA3D-INTEREST".
