<BR>I'm not sure that a library will do it. It'll just be another sort of complexity. .. I wonder how far one can get by probing the graphics-card/device to extract those cryptic parameters that numbs you by turning the screen black and restart the pc when you 'test' them in code. <BR>
I'm content with the idea that I now can set the GPU to work. I'll probably try to split other related tasks between the two remaining CPUs like 'go fetch' and simplify triangle-mesh. If that approach doesn't provide some agility, so be it.<BR>
Having my claw on the virtual room has spawned a couple of other personal projects like 3D copy (laser and D2 image analysis) and pasting (rep-rap 3D printing ;o)<BR>
. .. happily ignoring how long time all that will take<BR>
<BR>
One thing that becomes urgent now is a binary reader that can ingest all the different formats that I've met in the search for gis-related data.<BR>

<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">For a year now, I have had a dream of making a really slick DirectX-based 3D viewing engine for geo applications. The work I’ve done in the past, and the work you’re doing now, is all stuff that the DirectX “experts” have done a million times and we are just reinventing their wheel. Since I do mostly lidar these days, I’d love to make a solid, canonical open source library for 3D, but I’ve just not had the time/funding for it yet…</SPAN></P>
