Are there other ways to implement vertex shaders beside the vertex program extension and Cg?
Yes, there are two possible ways:
- use directX
- do it yourself on the cpu…
Thanks AdrianD!
Vertex Shaders with opengl on nvidia cards.
Are vp or Cg then the only way?
These provide similar functionality,
EXT_vertex_shader ( ATI, possibly others )
NV_vertex_program ( NV, 3Dlabs, others ? )
ARB_vertex_program ( most will likely have this )
@PH: Are those possible on nvidia cards?
ARB_vertex_program is the one to wait for. It will be supported by all the major companies ( those that have the hardware capable of supporting it ).
It’s a pretty new extension so it’s not available in any public drivers yet.
Thanks.
