I have a doubt in relation with Performer and OpenGVS. I know this is
not only a Performer question because I´m over all interesting in the
way OpenGVS works in a SGI machine. I have a potentially customer that
wants to develop his simulator starting with a PC platform and after
porting to a Silicon Graphics machine. He wonders if maintain the
application in OpenGVS or porting to Performer.
In the most external aspect, It looks that OpenGVS works similarly as
Performer (the way they configure the scene, create a light source or
implement a fog model) but I really don´t know if they process every
frame also in a similar way as Performer, at least in the hardware
level, so you can easily port from OpenGVS to Performer.
Have any of you experience in porting one to another? How many effort
could this cost? Do you have any notice of a converter form OpenGVS to
Performer?
A friend in SGI has recomend me to write it directly in OpenGL, do any
of you think that this will suppose less effort than do it in OpenGVS
and port it to Performer (or run it directly in OpenGVS, as I´m not sure
on how is this going to go)?
I will appreciate any help. Thanks in advance,
