Baseline. (...) They may be oldbut they work! As to 6100, while given enough RAM it should run MacOS 8.6 and higher, I'm afraid your are of of luck with OpenGL programs, as GLUT only operates with ATI graphics cards and to my knowledge ATI have (...)

(...) Cool! If you can clearly show where you make the changes, I might be able to port this back into the other versions. I've never been all that happy with the rendering speed myself. You can see in the code where I tinkered a bit with display (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) You call that a baseline? Can't you do something for the old PowerMac 6100 that I got out of my sister in-law's closet?

Upgrading my stock Apple G3/233 with a Radeon 7000 gave BrickDraw3D an 85% speed improvement. In pure OpenGL mode the improvement is 60% over the existing OpenGL advantage. The 2002 ATI Retail Card Update worked on G3/233 with 9.1 but BrickDraw3D (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
