Picture of Warp3D Running Natively on AmigaOne

Naturally...  ;-)

I'm assuming in the future you are looking to support the T&L stuff. The speed difference is quite amazing when here at work you force the T&L into software vertex processing as apposed to HW.

Yes. T&L is on the TODO list for the next interim version, as well as a few other things.

What's the intended short-term future past the OS4 release, is it going to be like the couple previous AmigaOS releases, where a couple of 'boing bags' are released then a new (paid for) version?

I realise plans can change, but some indication would be nice to know.  Personally I wouldn't be surprised from a revenue point of view that a new (paid for) version (after OS4.0) comes sooner than intended/usual (from the community point of view), as it is a huge investment in time and money.

I can tell you are itching to do some freebee work on AROS 3D drivers now!!! :-)

Don't listen to nasty Mr Hermans, join us :-D

@Rogue:
It still is the 'old' Warp3D version being converted, or is it being built arround the new NOVA engine?

Cheers

@mikeymike:

We didn't look too far into the future after OS 4, but I'd say that after the initial release, there will be a maintnance release shortly afterwards - beta testing is one thing, but deployment will very likely show off a lot of hidden bugs.

4.1 is being talked about already, mostly about intended featureset and timeframe after the 4.0 release, but I can't  disclose anything at the moment about that. It will most likely also depend on the feedback we get.

He doesn't even talk nasty about AROS, honestly :-)

Yes, I would like to work on 3D drivers now, but I'd be selfish enough to go for AmigaOS first... Yeah, I can be mean ;-)

This is "old" Warp3D. We'll do some reworking for the OS 4 version (like said T&L support), which will probably not make it into the classic version, but that's basically it. NOVA is in planning stage, and it will depend on opportunities that arise how it will evolve, but it will certainly not see the light of day until a good deal after OS 4.0 is released.

This may ruffle some feathers for people who "suggested" otherwise.  ;-)
