ImaginationTechnologies SDK contains code for loading/exporting meshes in their own format (POD) Theirs is a fairly low level format but pretty complete , including animations and scene graph stuff - and it is pretty efficient too ( at least in terms of memory usage) PS. They also have stand...

Funny you mention that ... I actually wrote code like that on iPhone, basically doing float ops and then simply casting results to shorts and storing them in my custom vertex buffer memory which was defined to take GL_SHORT for position and uv coordinates. Gcc was generating code that was...

To 'WoD': You need to chill out … big time. To others: I cannot emphasize enough that this sort of idiocy needs to be pointed out as often as possible because if we let these brainwashed children of a Politically Correct Age have their way, pretty soon nobody will be able to discuss anything...

For fun here is the conversion amounts I tallied over the past month: 419.97 GBP = 608.745 USD on 12/31/08 419.97 GBP = 616.217 USD on 1/5/09 419.97 GBP = 639.931 USD on 1/8/09 419.97 GBP = 635.945 USD on 1/9/09 419.97 GBP = 611.910 USD on 1/14/09 419.97 GBP = 622.930 USD on 1/16/09 419.97 GBP...

Yep, it will be a cold day in hell before I order something via bank transfer ... that's soo damn 20th century and just screams "fraud". It is not about bank transfers not being reliable or anything like that , your money will get there, alright .. and there are plenty of protection laws...

What the hell are you talking about ? The original poster was 100% correct and presented his case in professional and calm manner. Remember, we are talking here about other people's money , hundreds of $$ in fact - are you surprised people have questions ?

Re: Definately. My wife (being unfamiliar with the whole thing and thus looking at it from outside) actually even remarked that this looks like a scam to her. I do trust these guys but it does look that way to people from outside.

On a Neon equiped hardware using fixed point amounts to stupidity. Why would you want to have your main integer unit doing all the work while at the same time keeping your floating point unit completely idle ? Not to mention being able to vectorize your floating code ... Doesn't make sense at...

Are you guys waiting for your refunds before reordering ?

Not really ... hardly anyone does Immediate Mode when doing any performace sensitive stuff. Nobody needs stinkin' quads :-) The bottom line is that the biggest change is lack of fixed function pipeline. In other words you will have to write your own shaders which is just as good because...

Oh please.... we are talking here about letting other people do what they want with your code/idea , Stallman and his utopian ideas notwithstanding. Frankly, there are plenty of truly open platforms and products (BSD,Apache comes to mind) ... as far as I can tell these folks seem to be pretty...

Linux is not an open platform - it is GNU platform - an open source, restrictive platform with its own very unique set of restrictions. Having Microsoft lawyers going after me because of financial loss or GNU lawyers because of the perceived lack of conformity to their social agenda makes no...

Ah so we have what amounts to dead weight code ( open source go-between) just to satisfy somebody's ego (Stallman's in this case )... Lovely.

I hope this is just a beta because, looking at the code, it is not very optimized ( in terms of batching)
