Hi Chris, I threw in my two cents and pimped OSG in the Reddit comments. http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/icfw3/opengl_vs_direct3d_a_tale_of_missed_opportunities/ That was a pretty good write-up, though it stops when things start getting interesting again. And I agree with your comments too. You have to know about the low-level, but you don't generally write in it directly...

Wow, that's a fascinating read. I took a look at D3D at V1.0 and didn't make it thru Chapter #1. BTW, I still have that book. :O Looked like a bunch of Jr. High kids wrote it - much like most of their API's at the time. Although, I have to say they've 'grown up' as their API's are no longer thoroughly counter intuitive. Thanks, Chris.

Chris, Great defense of OGL. Clearly there were a few OGL bigots in that forum that really spiced things up with some of their comments. The DirectX vs. OGL debate is more akin to a religious war than anything else. Long live OGL...and of course, OSG... -Shayne -Original Message- From: osg-users-boun...@lists.openscenegraph.org [mailto:osg-users-boun...@lists.openscenegraph.org] On Behalf Of Chris 'Xenon' Hanson Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2011 10:03 AM To: OpenSceneGraph Users Subject: [osg-users] OpenGL vs Direct3D: A tale of missed opportunities, gross stupidity, willful blindness, and simple foolishness.
