I'm trying to understand SGI's strategy regarding cross platform render
engine support, and was hoping someone on this list may be able to clarify
for me.
I understand that under the Firewalker initiative, SGI is using BRender as
the cross-platform API to which Firewalker tools will author, making SGI the
authoring platform of choice.
Yet under the Cosmo initiative, it's implied that Performer will be made
cross platform, though it is as yet unclear who will be porting it and when.
Is this as disconnected as it appears, or is there an effort going on to
merge these efforts (such as wrap a Performer API around BRender for the
other platforms).
Any or all input is greatly appreciated.
