Okay, that sounds interesting, is there a chance to get a look on the current
work of your group? (CVS or some tech-doc's about the architecture)
We're currently thinking about a software-renderer implementation of OpenGL
written in VP for lowlevel stuff like rasterisation. It would be fine, if
we see, that there's a standard evolving for the elate-os and we can work
together on it.
What do you think about the RenderWare3 stuff from crilion software?
