GNURealistic ShaderMan / News: Recent posts

I just uploaded the first release of GMAN that completly builds.
Those interested in helping the project may wish to download this one and see if it builds on your system.

Let me know if you run into any trouble building on your system,

* automake trouble
* compile errors
* install errors

Today I checked in significant changes to the source repositories, including support for polygon features, clipping, viewing system information, and most preliminary code not heretofore available that will present the basis of the pre-alpha and alpha (generating ouput) releases.

The only thing remaining for the alpha release is to put together the basic SL interface, code the rudiments of the RIB parser, and code the zbuffer shader.
