OpenGL vs DirectX

Crypthor · 2000-03-14T15:48:20

Just interesting there is a reason to support OpenGL? As war is follow, i headr many people that''s like OGL or DX. Some people says that OGL slowly dying, and DX is the future of 3D. How do you people think, OGL ( exactly OGL ) will be supported for a long time ( 5-10 years for example ) The hardware providers will support acceleration on their 3D cards for OGL in future ? Or, again Micro$oft with his DX win a "battle" ?

To add a bit to what has been said here, OpenGL is NOT slowly dying. Besides the fact that it''s cross-platform, it is also the 3D API of choice in the graphics community, so, even if it fades in the game market, it will still be around for a long time to come in the world of graphics, and thus will almost certainly continue to be supported in hardware.
