Can you confirm that the modeling with texture maps is in real time. My
understanding was it would only model solids in real time. At least thats the
only promise I have heard them make.
I agree the 3Demon, and GLint chip and other boards will be great, I just want
to make sure neither of us are expecting something that was not stated or
actually supported.
