Change is good

Well as usual I have changed my mind. After a week or so doing some DirectX studying and finally getting to a point where I can make stuff happen on the screen I change my mind. This is so typical and I hate my brain for it but I just can't help it.

I have been researching about different ways of doing the UI for the touch table, reading different papers and so on. And every so often I get some code examples and they are all in OpenGL. That's not enough though to sway me off the wonderful world that is DirectX (Not that wonderful but it's all I know , much like your mom's pancake is the best in the world when you are a kid).

No, the thing that made me drop all that DirectX knowledge that I squeezed into my brain next to all the Mythbusters episodes was the same fact that I fought about when I went with DirectX. It is platform independent. Yes, I still want to be able to run my Omniverse on Linux, OS X and Windows. Not that I plan to support all of the at first but I don't want to port it all. But my second reason was that I actually can use this in my work as a mobile developer since all mobiles with and worth handle OpenGL ES.

So there we have it. Back to the drawing board. Not that big of a setback really since I have learned all the basics of 3D graphics that still apply on OpenGL. So if anyone have any good tutorials on OpenGL 3.0 or later give me a shout (Don't actually shout cause most likely I won't hear it)
