| 44 | Maxim | (note that the GLut window manager is already available on most OSes, so this makes it even simpler to port, once extensions are ported to other platforms. :-) | 20-Aug-09 21:13 |
| 43 | Maxim | At this point, providing the full capabilities of OpenGL to REBOL seems trivial, once the image! improvements are added to Extensions API. Some form of callbacks would also allow us to use a different window manager than VID (which would make it faster, since we wouldn't need to convert to rebol bitmaps at each frame). | 20-Aug-09 21:11 |

| 41 | Maxim | Open GL gfx source is mostly on the C side for now because I'm still playing around with the extension and I can't interact with GLut or OGL until the extension API is expanded a little bit. | 20-Aug-09 17:12 |
| 40 | ICarii | very nice maxim! :) | 20-Aug-09 11:23 |
| 39 | Henrik | what does the REBOL source look like? | 20-Aug-09 9:32 |
| 38 | Henrik | wohoo! :-) | 20-Aug-09 9:31 |
| 37 | Maxim | The first REBOL natively Generated OpenGL hardware accelerated graphics. :-D http://www.pointillistic.com/open-REBOL/moa/steel/R3-OGL.png | 20-Aug-09 9:31 |
| 36 | Maxim | trying to add texture just for the fun of it :-) | 20-Aug-09 8:14 |
| 35 | Maxim | anyways... screenshot in a few minutes :-: | 20-Aug-09 8:06 |
| 34 | Maxim | I also need the OpenGL performance for a huge art project of mine which composites thousands of pictures. | 20-Aug-09 8:06 |
| 33 | Maxim | hehe | 20-Aug-09 8:05 |
| 32 | Graham | Create my favourite avatar, Max Headroom :) | 20-Aug-09 8:05 |
| 31 | Maxim | I also have a client which needs to visualize genomic data and millions of nodes in space.... so this is the first step to getting that contract :-) | 20-Aug-09 8:04 |
| 30 | Graham | mimic the iphone? | 20-Aug-09 8:04 |
| 29 | Maxim | buttons really stick out, project shadows, etc... flip the window to see what is behind it, desk surface is liquid... so things can be made to float... with water ripples, etc. | 20-Aug-09 8:03 |
| 28 | Maxim | my use for this is to replace VID, for Elixir OS. which is a fully 3 dimensional interface design. | 20-Aug-09 8:02 |
| 27 | Henrik | Graham, if it can do what GOBs are doing now, it will be fine for VID3.4. It's a matter of how you design the interface, I suppose. | 20-Aug-09 8:02 |
| 26 | Graham | Anton did a 3D GUI demo ... useful for that? | 20-Aug-09 8:02 |
| 25 | Graham | Can we have 3D UIs ? | 20-Aug-09 8:01 |
| 24 | Maxim | I need to wait for callback and/or image! specific enhancements to API to make it REBOL controlable | 20-Aug-09 8:01 |
| 23 | Graham | only good for games then? | 20-Aug-09 8:00 |
| 22 | Maxim | with current cards... why not jump directly to a million cows :-D | 20-Aug-09 7:59 |
| 21 | Maxim | yep... right now I'm working on primitives... shaded cube is the first one... just to show off its in 3D :-) | 20-Aug-09 7:58 |
| 20 | Henrik | I'd love to see how 10000 cows performs :-) | 20-Aug-09 7:44 |
| 19 | Henrik | (and in a few KBs) | 20-Aug-09 7:44 |
| 18 | Henrik | Maxim, I'm sure Carl will love it, if you can provide the same underpinnings for VID via OpenGL as through the current engine. | 20-Aug-09 7:42 |
| 17 | Maxim | :-) | 20-Aug-09 7:39 |
| 16 | Will | woot.. this R3.. now I got to learn C, OpenGL, etc.. 8)) | 20-Aug-09 7:34 |
| 15 | Maxim | I've been waiting sooooo many years to be able to do just what I am doing now :-) | 20-Aug-09 7:28 |
| 14 | Maxim | first step is to have an image! which is updated from the OpenGL rendering using high-performance memory copy functions from the C side.. | 20-Aug-09 7:28 |
| 13 | Geomol | Cool! :-) | 20-Aug-09 7:27 |
| 12 | Maxim | the goal is to have an OpenGL gob :-) | 20-Aug-09 7:25 |
| 11 | Maxim | yes Geomol did, but the limitations of R2 can't make it native... meaning, you don't have access to the binary part of the data and use it directly within normal datatypes. | 20-Aug-09 7:23 |
| 10 | Maxim | when Carl adds a few little image! enhancements to the extension API, I should be able to use a rebol image! as the interface to get the OpenGL render into rebol, using R3 view. If memcopy works, then it should be VERY fast ( a few hundred images/second AFAICT) | 20-Aug-09 7:22 |
| 9 | Graham | I thought geomol already did something with opengl? | 20-Aug-09 7:22 |
| 8 | Maxim | graham, This will allow us to do Hardware-accelerated 2D/3D directly from REBOL. | 20-Aug-09 7:19 |
| 7 | Maxim | screenshot not yet usefull... still doing the low-level stuff (no way to specify polygons yet... but should be done shortly) | 20-Aug-09 7:19 |
| 6 | Graham | what's it good for? better forms? | 20-Aug-09 7:01 |
| 5 | Henrik | screenshot? | 20-Aug-09 6:45 |
| 4 | Maxim | MILESTONE !!! I've got an OpenGL window up and running... called from within REBOL 3 :-) | 20-Aug-09 6:43 |
| 3 | Maxim | GLut needs access to the application's (argc, argv)... I've tried simulating this, following guidelines I've found on how they are supposed to be setup when supplied to the app, but so far, the glut init just seems to crash on me. :-( | 20-Aug-09 6:13 |
| 2 | Maxim | so far I haven't had any problems with the R3 side of things including compiling my own extension with a few new funcs in it... But now I'm starting to implement the GL specifics and just hit a snag. | 20-Aug-09 6:09 |
| 1 | Maxim | hi all, I am currently building a wrapper for the OpenGL / GLut libraries to allow R3 apps to access OpenGL natively. | 20-Aug-09 6:07 |
