    hey guys, i saw today that OpenGL 4.1 is coming to OSX on your roadmap. Great news. I imagine this will bring geomtry/tesselation shaders. Will this enable the reading and writing of 3D Render Targets on OSX aswell? Currently its DX11 only.

    Geometry and tessellation shaders: Yes.
    Reading and writing to 3D render targets, erm it's probably something I need to double check.

    If you have access to the betas (5.2), I'll advice you to try out using -force-glcore (experimental on Windows only for the moment, sorry!). If you encounter an issue, please fill a bug report with your scene so that I can get it right on time following the roadmap.

    Thanks! :)

    Looking toward the geometry/tesselation on Mac, it's about time!

    How is this going? Groovounet did you ever double check on the 3d texture render targets?

    I'm working on a ray tracer for terrain and am dreading trying to do 3d clouds without 3d textures:
