nice read, thanks Karlos !
will the new warpd3D version and new permedia2 driver be released only for AOS4 or will classic warpos will also benefit from your expertise ?
Well, the current driver is for OS4.1, but I can't really see any technical reasons why it won't run on 4.0.
As for OS3.x/WarpOS, I have an unreleased driver from way back when. It's not quite as developed as the current one, but it was fundamentally the starting point for the big refactor that led to the performance gains for vertex array drawing.
However, it isn't as compatible with existing software as the original 4.2 driver. The present driver likewise has problems. Certain applications don't play nice with Warp3D, calling functions with broken arguments or just poking internal structures directly.
I am not sure what the deal is with that. I signed the necessary NDA at the time to be able to work on it but releases aren't up to me and Warp3D 4 is no longer supported. I could always ask though.
