After having a look at the videos I'm really shocked/surprised at how many changes they have made since Snow Leopard was released - the changes they've made are hardly things that one can complete on a rainy weekend.
I myself am SUPER excited for OpenGL 3.2 since it means not only can I start learning OpenGL 3.2 programming but it also means that the amazing texture painting program Mari can come to the Mac.
EDIT: OMG they have an OpenGL video! Time to take a break from game making to watch a movie...
Would be great for games and other 3D applications.
I asked the developer Feral for any possible frame rate increases for the game Borderlands in Lion and got this reply:
”...and unfortunately the advances in OpenGL that you refer to are not relevant to any performance increase.” :(
I also mentioned that the Windows version of the game Bioshock is better in Windows (tried the demo on both Mac OS X and Windows 7 on the same hardware. The response on this:
”The Mac version is slower than the PC on the same hardware because OpenGL does not have the features or optimisations that you will find in directX - this is because DirectX is designed specifically for gaming and as such has had over a billion dollars of R&D spent on it by Microsoft as part of the Xbox program.”
Oh, well...
