Anyone know when it is set to be released… an approximate date will do, because i havent been able to find out any info on this.
The situation is not very clear. Perhaps because we are in the middle of a revolution or is it a war for world dominace?
It is not absolutley certain that OpenGL 2.0 will be released in the near future. I think NVidia wants to have the high level shader language seperate from OpenGL and update the core OpenGL with their own extensions. Their vision is to let OpenGL be a low level library.
I do think that releasing OpenGL 1.4 and perhaps also 1.5 has been decided. The big news should be the promotion of some of nvidias extension to ARB status. If I remember right will their vertex program extension be in 1.4.
Lets hope its as soon as possible… coz i want OpenGL 2.0 to stick it to dx9 and dx8 good
God, was trying to start learning d3d today, omg, the code is sooo long as messy compared to OpenGL… ugh
There has been sightings of an early-alpha-OpenGL2 driver from 3DLabs (for their high-end hardware) in the Advanced Programming forums.
Looks like far away for consumer hardware though.
