New 3D browser?(sorry AW) (Community)
New 3D browser?(sorry AW) // CommunityberserkerNov 22, 2000, 5:23pm
Surfing around I came upon a OpenGL 3D browser that looks like it is going
to be set up like AW..it allows you to have your own "world"but entirely on a website(no servers!!)looks interesting but performed a little slow on my machine,this may be the best competition I have seen yet for AW.I still like AW better than all that was before..but....OpenGL?...we'll see. berserkerNov 22, 2000, 5:26pm

And AW beats them.
Here's why: It has slow turning, ugh! Also AW seems to go smoooooooooother for me than what theirs does. lol [View Quote] berserkerNov 22, 2000, 6:40pm
I have tried it 3 times now and it is getting faster each time,I returned my
resolution to 800x600 from 1024 and d/l'ed the newest drivers for my Voodoo3,all of which makes a BIG difference. I have always been curious about OpenGL,but there was not alot out there to goof around with. dennis13,sorry didn't mean to rattle any bones,I just thought it was interesting since AW has had no "real" competition.

At the last Tech Talk, Roland specifically brought up the subject of Open
GL. He said that the powers that be have slated the next program upgrade will be to introduce OpenGL. That is after the release of the version he is currently working on. Regards, Justin [View Quote] |
