https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=407866 Summary: [feature-request] 3D Applications Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Xgl AssignedTo: dreveman@novell.com ReportedBy: al4321@gmail.com QAContact: bperry@novell.com Found By: --- Hi All ! This request is more Compiz than XGL related, but anyway... Compiz, compared to other "3D scene manager" - Sun's "Looking Glass 3D" - lacks one important feature - namely: capability to create 3D desktop applications. In other words Compiz (just like Vista Aero Glass) is a 3D space for managing 2D applications, while "Looking Glass 3D" is a 3D space for managing both 2D *and* 3D applications. "Looking Glass 3D" is not a production desktop environment, but just (demo) proof-of-concept of what is possible to achieve. Basically this request is asking about the possibility to add ability (API) to build 3D applications around compiz. My Article about "Looking Glass 3D": http://forgeftp.novell.com/lfl/.html/lg3d.html That article explains the future of 3D desktop environments, shows how-to install it on openSUSE and shows how such 3D desktop applications are working. -Alexey "Technolgov", 10.7.2008. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
