Yes, you are right. I agree with you 100%, but we need something as fast as possible and the CPU way seems more promising just to prove that the whole project is not vaporware. I believe that a good processor and carefully designed software can give a tolerable true prototype which is easier to create. All we need is a fast processor optimized for multimedia and some low cost development board. We do not need USB/ATA and so on. We need something to offload the cpu for rendering and give others the ability to work on something even if it is software. Updates can improve the performance and even CG experts can implement current research ideas long before these find their way into big companies products. I think we can use the success of this multimedia rich embedded system to fuel financially the GPL-VHDL/ or GPL-assembly code which should attract smaller companies struggling for survival. They may provide the next generation GPUs to run our software and this will come at no cost and of course everything will be opensource.
I think I have right in this respect. We should think in terms of advertisement and not in terms of performance at this early stage ( Microsoft thinking is not that bad occasionaly, do you agree?) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
