The future of CGI will be interesting and confusing. I know about Microsoft's
licensing of OpenGL from an earlier Byte article, but didn't know what they
were planning to do with it, other than that it would "eventually" appearin NT.
I think it's great that all these hardware manufacturers are making hardware to
run openGL, and I hope this same hardware will be advantageous for 3DS R4
users, too.
But I'm sure the NT/OpenGL/Hardware market is aimed not only at
animators/graphics people, but also consumers. I'll be this is going to turn
into a whole multimedia kinda thing that'll eventually trickle down to the
consumer. Who knows?
