RE: [pygame] 3D engine ?

["Mike C. Fletcher" <mcfletch@home.com>]

I would think that something named Py3D would be a cross-API environment
supporting both direct 3-D and OpenGL, with support for all the various
sub-specializations of 3-D functionality [visualization, design, games,
visitation renders etc.].  Just my reaction, choose as you will.

As for C code, I would suggest that for any really useful API it will be
necessary to have considerable C accelerators for the hot spots.  3-D
graphics is too intensive to do everything in Python code.  Fallbacks to
Python are fine, but aren't much use of the application runs at one frame
per minute with them.

Enjoy yourselves,
Mike

There will be probably some C :-( but i promise to minimize the C part; we
may
even recode all this C part in Python, to have 2 different versions; in this
case we can use C if available, and default to Python if trouble with C...

Currently i'm still installing PyOpenGL, PyGame and so on...
First we need to recode all the engine; this is rather straightforward...

By the way, is the name "Py3D" already exist ?
