New topic in General: Is 3D definitively abandonned ?
yann - Tue Jun 10, 2008 8:12 am <http://forums.realsoftware.com/viewtopic.php?t=22835> Hello everyone, I post this on the general forum and not in the games section on purpose, because it is obvious to me that 3D accelerated graphics are being used more and more outside the game industry. Does anybody know why such a great development tool as RealBasic keeps lacking a serious graphics engine ? Seems that things are getting worse and worse after each update : the current version, for example, deprecates RB3D, but worst of all : it breaks compatibility with crossplatform OpenGL declares that had been working pretty well for years. And all these changes occur without any warning from Real Software to their users, whose apps simply won't compile anymore after they upgrade to RB 2008 R2. Were are we going ? Are they preparing us a great surprise (like OGRE3D compatibility in September...) or should we simply leave the boat if we want modern graphics for our apps ? -- Over 900 classes with 18000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in.
