Given what I know about "the people who wrote Direct3D" and some of their previous affiliations, this is welcome news indeed! I look forward to playing with this myself. Are there any plans on cooperating with the Precision Insight folks on making this also take advantage of 3D hardware accelertion? If you like, I can put you in touch with the Right People(tm) over there - they seem to know quite a bit about this topic and could help you ensure the best possible rendering performance on X-based desktops. I can also put you in touch with the right people at Loki software if you'd like to explore the possibilities for Unix-based gaming... This is very cool - the screenshots are awesome! Great work guys, especially on the license! :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
