Outside of the gaming industry, I think it's safe to say that most professional graphics apps are using OGL. Practically everything from visualization software in the oil industry to the image generator industry is using OSG and/or OGL in their applications. It shouldn't be a problem in getting these folks to step up in OGL's defense.
Our particular shop is porting over to using OSG because it uses OpenGL and not D3D. That was a big factor in our decision. -S -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Osfield Sent: Wednesday, February 25, 2009 2:00 PM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: Re: [osg-users] OFT: Interesting commentary of the future of OpenGL Hi Paul, On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 8:42 PM, Paul Martz <[email protected]> wrote: > What specific ideas do you have for supporting OpenGL?

I don't have any strong ideas, it's just a sense that perhaps we should get our act together an as one instigate a campaign of support for OpenGL and hold the hardware vendors toes to the fire a little was well ;-) We have lots of big companies that use the OSG, these are the types of groups to step up and say OpenGL is real important. Big open source projects could step up as well. I'm not marketing person, so not well equipped to come up with snappy campaign or who to smooze to get them to sign up. Coordinate with ARB would be OK, but personally I'd want it to be a message from the community of OpenGL users rather than a marketing campain for the ARB/vendors.
