I feel the same way. I'm currently of the opinion that perspective correction is about the only think that would get removed from OGA (in the abstract) to make it satisfy Ray. But if that doesn't require too much hardware, why not keep it? Actually, a 2D design is WAY easier to parallelize than a 3D design. That's because 2D designs are much more rectilinear, so you keep parallel fragments together, reducing the amount of metadata that has to travel through the pipeline. For instance, all but the last few stages of TROZ's pipeline is all metadata. Just coordinates and a little bit of other information. On the other hand, OGA carries color information essentially the whole way through the pipeline from beginning to end. Still, what Ray is asking for would be more like OGA than TROZ. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
