OpenGL 3.0 正式发布

hyzboy

The Khronos™ Group announced today it has released the OpenGL® 3.0 specification with strong industry support to bring significant new functionality to the open, cross-platform standard for 3D graphics acceleration. OpenGL 3.0 includes GLSL™ 1.30, a new version of the OpenGL shading language, and provides comprehensive access to the functionality of the latest generations of programmable graphics hardware.  The OpenGL working group has also defined a set of OpenGL 3.0 extensions that expose potential new functionality for the next version of OpenGL that is targeted for release in less than 12 months, and a set of extensions for OpenGL 2.1 to enable much of the new OpenGL functionality on older hardware.  Additionally, OpenGL 3.0 introduces an evolutionary model to assist in streamlining the specification and to enable rapid development of the standard to address diverse markets.  Finally, the OpenGL working group has announced that it is working closely with the emerging OpenCL standard to create a revolutionary pairing of compute and graphics programming capabilities.  The new OpenGL 3.0 specifications are freely available at www.khronos.org/opengl.

之前gamedev上有人讨论opengl要完蛋了，汗~ 希望别完蛋，要不我得重写引擎的渲染层了。

今天在国外和国内的各大网站上看了好些关于刚正式发布的OpenGL3.0的贴子,普遍表示说ARB并没有实在之前OpenGL3.0将较之前版本将发生重大改变的承诺,而只是像往常一样添加一些额外的功能和函数,只能称为OpenGL2.2.我也是一直非常喜欢并使用的OpenGL的一份子,OpenGL3.0刚发布,由于不是太内行,所以不感冒做评论.如果OpenGl3.0真如许多网友所反馈的那样,难不成咱还真得转DX了吗!!??
希望哪位内行的高手出来冒个泡,OpenGL的前景如何(单就游戏开发来说)?

3.0里养眼的有以下几条：
1. Transform Feedback  对应DX stream out
2. Conditional Renderer. 方便使用occul  query
3. Texture array.
4. 内置MRT ,Shader


除了以上的前三点。啥都不是。连GS都没有。还是一个FIXED pipeline。 估计这个局面维持一年多的话，在windows上他就真死了。

不会很久显卡驱动就会更新,接着就是一些demo

比较奇怪，像GS之类的这些功能最终应该是显卡硬件来实现的，而现在显卡硬件已经实现了，那么为硬件已经实现了的东西写一个API有那么困难么？ 不过我对显卡的认识很差，也不知道是不是这么回事。

就算实在不行，照着DX的API抄一份总可以吧。我还准备让引擎支持Linux呢，要是OGL完蛋了，该怎么办呢？
