Excuse my Direct3D statment, I guess OpenGL is the way to go because of
the linux crowd (plus, thinking a little more....OpenGL is actually
faster than Direct3D).
But the rendering engine in my view is less important mainly because as
I said in my first post, it will create more culling problems than it
might be worth. I've experienced this firsthand when importing a brick
into Zmodeler: primitives that have been "flipped" are inside-out. I
suppose anything that reads BFC statments should correct this but
unfortunatley the LightWave convertor I used before convering them to
3DS doesn't.

No, this is a bad idea, in that it would lock up the software to MS and
make it much more difficult to use under other platforms (read linux+wine)


Gotta agree, I'd HATE to see that happen. It's already a pity the new track
designer program most likely won't work under Wine (since it uses much of
.NET from what I read in the announcement) let's not let this one go
please. We can't expect many people actively developing Linux software, but
lets at least show appreciation for people that write Windows software that
runs cross-platform.

(...) I can certainly appreciate why you suggested Direct3D, and I personally didn't interpret it to mean that you would be disappointed by an OpenGL renderer. I believe that the performance differences between OpenGL and Direct3D are fairly heavily (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
