I'm wondering if a different approach might not work better. I'm thinking specifically of Java3D, which while it is built on top of GL, doesn't reflect GL in it's design. The advantage of this approach is that you can replace GL with other rendering libraries (DirectX, for example). -- "Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea -- massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it." - Gene Spafford Brian ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
