I tested Ruby-processing and I saw good 3D samples made thanks to
OpenGL.
But I did’nt find people using it to do something.
I just found some samples using free-context, but it’s not 3D.
Does someone use Ruby-Processing to made something greater than a 15
seconds technical demo ?

For those wanting to do 3D stuff with Ruby Processing, I also have a few

Hello, I am french, sorry for my mistakes.
I would like to do 3D with Ruby.
I tried Ogre.rb, but this project requires a lot of other gems to be
installed, and there are still some files missing. Can’t I just download
a ready-to-use sample ?
it is a lot of work to install all these files and I am not even sure it
will be working at last.

Ogre.rb is not at all ready for use right now, but other than my work
there
I do not know of any workable Ruby wrapper to a 3D engine.
If you are looking to just work with 3D yourself, there is always
straight
OpenGL, and a few Ruby wrappers around that library. When you say “do 3D
with Ruby”, what kind of project are you looking to build?

Create cubes with textures, some houses. I am a 2D games programmer, so
I would work a bit in 3D. I created a 3D graphical engine from a 2D

I remember OpenGL is a bit strange to me, because of the vertex system.
But there are many tutorials and informations about OpenGL, so I think
it could be the better choice.

Hello Marc-antoine:
OpenGL has had shaders for quite a while:
http://www.opengl.org/documentation/glsl/
All you need to do is write the shaders and load them into the GPU via
OpenGL’s GLSL API.
OpenGL and Microsoft DirectX/3D have been leapfrogging each other for
the
past 10 years and the shader capabilities of each are pretty comparable.
Because of OpenGLs extension mechanism OpenGL will sometimes get a
feature
before DirectX/3D but unfortunately the acquiring the Pixel Format /
Rendering Context (roughly equivalent to the capability-bits in
DirectX/3D)
in OpenGL has gotten really ugly because of that.

Hello Michal:
s>upport OpenGL 2.0 or greater GLSL shaders.
I implemented the OpenGL 2.0 or greater version of the shader functions
so
you will likely need to install OpenGL 2.0 or greater drivers for your
video
card. It looks like you are running the software-only OpenGL drivers
that
come with Linux.
In the initialize procedure I do the following check for the required
OpenGL
functions:
if not (GL.respond_to?(‘CreateProgram’) and
GL.respond_to?(‘CreateShader’) and
GL.respond_to?(‘ShaderSource’) and
GL.respond_to?(‘CompileShader’) and
GL.respond_to?(‘AttachShader’) and
GL.respond_to?(‘LinkProgram’) and
GL.respond_to?(‘DeleteShader’) and
GL.respond_to?(‘DeleteProgram’))
puts('Error - The program has terminated because the environment does
’ +
‘not support OpenGL 2.0 or greater GLSL shaders.’)
exit
end
In theory, if your MESA / SGI driver supported shaders through ARB
extensions (like some earlier OpenGL’s did) instead of as built in
functions
(like OpenGL 2.0+ in the recent ATI, Nvidia and Intel drivers) then you
could modify this section and other sections of code to use the
alternate
(i.e. older) function names. However, I do not believe your drivers
support
shaders at all.

Yes, there are some ARB extensions listed.
The problem is that Intel does not do special driver for Linux, their
hardware is supposedly supported by X11/Mesa and the proprietary
drivers for ATI/nVidia cards simply do not work (tried with recent
cards about half an year ago).
Running a demo is as far as I got in using OpenGL so I guess I will
pass on this for now.

It supports fragment and vertex programs. I do not know it that is
sufficient but I think FireGL V3350 should support some shading.

These are the X11/Mesa drivers and they are bad as in having few
features, possibly in part because of limitations of the Intel
hardware.
The stability has also worsened recently. Too many chipset revisions
with different hardware issues I guess.
