We’re actively going to switch to Core profile, on next, in the coming months: at least that is James' big goal for 2021 development, personally. | We’re actively going to switch to Core profile, on next, in the coming months: at least that is James' big goal for 2021 development, personally. | ||
Maybe not getting as far as Vulkan/VSG (it would be nice but a lot more work….) but certainly getting our use of the OSG API as modern as possible, and getting the shaders into a OpenGL 4.x variant. (Eg, if MoltenGL can host us, that would be good for macOS…) | Maybe not getting as far as [[Vulkan Scene Graph|Vulkan/VSG]] (it would be nice but a lot more work….) but certainly getting our use of the OSG API as modern as possible, and getting the shaders into a OpenGL 4.x variant.

James would expect as a result of that, we would require OpenGL 4.1 or 4.2 on next: we could do 3.3 at a push but why bother? Apple supports 4.2 [1] and everyone else can update their drivers. Writing clean shaders will be so much easier if we can rely on 4.2 features as a baseline. | James would expect as a result of that, we would require OpenGL 4.1 or 4.2 on next: we could do 3.3 at a push but why bother?
