Do we have a 3D API?

TEG · 21 January 2019, 00:19

I mean, do we have an open source 3D engine or a library of 3D functions optimized and ready to be called for classic Amiga?

Thanks.

Yes, Warp3D. Partial tutorial here: http://amigan.1emu.net/aw/aactive.zip

Yes it's not really open source though. Supports 68k and PPC under 3.x. For machines without Hardware 3D acceleration Wazp3D is the software driver.
The following has Hardware 3D acceleration the CV3D, CVPPC, Permedia 2 and Voodoo 3/4/5.

I believe Blazemonger has a pretty advanced 3D API on the Amiga platform.

Hello

You can also write OpenGL code : use MiniGL or StormMesa on Amiga
Original StormMesa got some bugs better to use the fixed version:
http://aminet.net/package/util/libs/StormMesa2010

For direct Warp3D code here it is an example:
http://aminet.net/package/dev/src/StarShipW3D
It display lots of informations about the driver (not really needed code) but the most important code is in the DrawWarp3D() function

I definitely need one of those C-YMP boards :-D
