The program got longer and longer and more complicated each time (there were also performance improvements with each iteration though, so that's pretty nice). >> Oliver Greenstock - Fri, 05 Jul 2019 20:17:50 EST FnW9ut/o No.37906 Reply >>37737Try Opengl maybe? >> Eugene Drummerfet - Fri, 05 Jul 2019 23:10:59 EST XgOrKnmP No.37907 Reply >>37737The reason that D3D12 and Vulkan gained so much steam among graphics engine programmers is because the new rendering API's provide so much damn low-level control over the hardware. This control comes at a price, and that price happens to be lines of code.
