Very interesting stuff showing that ultimately the Right Thing always wins. Noteworthy bits:
— The sheer power of GPU enables the use of much higher quality rendering: it's gamma-correct and multi-sampled!
— An on-die scripting engine is reprogrammed to switch between stencilling and colouring without CPU overhead and extremely low GPU overhead.
— It mixes with OpenGL rendering flawlessly.

Oh, I forgot, there's a cute 2D girl on page 9 of the paper.

That girl's SVG isn't present in the samples collection, and the PDF pictures are all raster. This is causing me most distress.

So what was the wrong thing?

No existing API other than OpenGL with NV_path_rendering do gamma-correct path rendering and permit freely mixing vector 2D with raster 3D so easily.

Shamelessly ageteiru¹ my thread because I believe it's more interesting than the crap on /prog/'s front page.

Don't be afraid of bumping relevant threads, especially when the others on the front page are irrelevant.

B-b-but I'm afraid. Could you m-m-maybe hold me in your arms so I can feel secure? <3
