Is there any difference using OpenGL and Direct X?

Please reply about this matter!!

OpenGL and DirectX are entirely separate systems to do essentially the

same task-- 3D graphics. The functions and (I believe) even the basic

structures are completely different. As I understand it, Direct X is

somewhat more oriented toward game creation, while OpenGL concentrates

more on modeling lighting realistically.

Any others have a comment distinguishing these tools?

So....

Is there any good resources on the Net for creating a 3D Game

Engine in Delphi? By 3D I'm talking about Polygons (quake like), NOT

Doom Like sprites. Aside from the continuing article in Delphi

Informant, I have YET to run accross anything.

So far, Ive been using the Delphi Games Creator to make 2D games,

but I feel that its time to branch out and go for 3D (time to give those

C++ programmers a run for their money).

Any leads and answers will be thankfully accepted.

Thanks

Yes.

1. OpenGL is a industry standard for the realistic 3D and DirectX is the

Microsoft standard.

1.5 So DirectX based on the OLE.

2. OpenGL works well with the Hi- and TrueColor scheme but DirectX needed

MMX for such a thing.

3. OpenGL works best on the SGI and DirectX on the Pentium2 imho ;-)))))

Hope this not stinks ;-)

No, there is not imho.

I'm trying to find anything about this but without any significant results.

So our FreeWorld project team is now writing own 3D engine which

is now in the pre-alpha state.

For comments and questions write directly to

ps. Of course you can try the 3D ebgines list to find some old Pascal

sources and demos.

Yes, I've mistakes, in the DirectX 3 the MMX support is not nesessary but I

think

the speed will decrease significally without the MMX support.

Question : Maybe somebody test the AMD K6 with the 3d tasks and MMX ?

Any problems ? Incompability ?

Subject: [delphi-3d] what's the matter?

Hi all,

what happend with that mailing list? Am I still subscribed? No messages since days. Is sombody still working with OpenGL and Delphi?

Seems the Beau-FTP server is down too.

Waiting, Mike
