It will work at full speed even with the cheapest GPU, that utilizes PCI-Express x16 bus and supports OpenGL ...

So does this mean you will learn about the celengine and opengl and contribute to it? Unfortunately, no, when it comes to improving the OpenGL code. I can however give code for eg. above mentioned things, which someone who knows how and where to add it can easily do that. For example converting a s...

I don't think that there's too much use for a ray tracer as an alternate renderer, however. It would be a great deal of effort to make sure t...

Hi, I've been spending some time developing an open source raytracing engine, that is especially tailored for rendering planets.
