[opensource-dev] Mac OS X Metal support

[Cinder Roxley]

MetalGL is an OpenGL ES 2.0 implementation that uses the Metal framework, so you’d be trading off performance and rewriting a pretty big chunk of the rendering code for not much gain. Furthermore, MetalGL’s license is incompatible with the LGPL.

I heard that there is a project called MetalGL that aims to compile OpenGL shaders using Metal... might make a port easier. Either way it would be awesome to see an SL client written from the ground up in Swift running Metal ... :D Maybe for SL 2 eh?

Do you have some plan concerning the support of Metal in the viewer ?
