Re: Apple Version

I dont know much about OpenGL, but as far as I was aware, it was built from the ground up to be portable. I would have thought that almost all of captures large code is for OpenGL, meaning it can be used on any OS. Is that correct? Is it not a case of rewriting things like the settings and all windows specific code, such as the DMX universe tabs etc.. for Mac and the openGL code would just work? I could be completely wrong here. But would be nice to know what it would take to port an OpenGL app to another OS. Cheers Michael.

Hi Michael,

You are absolutely right. Unfortunately the relative amount of code actually related to OpenGL is really minimal - the vast majority of teh code deals with all the features, windowing, import/export, networking.. and then we have the byte order issue, an extra release packaging, more computers in the office, more support,.. so as you see the issue really isn't OpenGL. :-)

Regards,
Lars Wernlund

Re: Apple Version

Cheers for clearing that up. I assumed that Capture being OpenGL would be mainly code for that. Didnt really thing about networking and imports. Cheers Michael
