I''m wondering is there any easy way to conwert a program written using OpenGL api instructions to software rendering program,so I can use it on machines not having 3D graphic acellerator? If it''s not too much trouble I would like people to reply on my e-mail adress: domagojvrgoc@yahoo.com Thank you.

There''s nothing to do. If you don''t have hardware acceleration, the openGL library on your machine is a software renderer.

Just try to avoid using extensions.

I ment so it could work in reasonable time...this way it''s too slow regardles the processor strength.

Eeek ! Turn off texturing, lighting ... and pray. You''ve been spoilt rotten by the performances of hardware-accelerated graphics.

And turn off bilinear texture filtering - just use GL_NEAREST for the mag filter, and GL_NEAREST (or GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_NEAREST) for the min filter.

Or just modify those software-only computers by adding some some of acceleration.

Nowadays software is less and less of an option.
