Valve has released a Direct3D to OpenGL translator (for a subset of Direct3D 9.0c)

[Artem S. Tashkinov]

Hi,

Just wanted to let everyone know that Valve has released a Direct3D to OpenGL translator (for a subset of Direct3D 9.0c).

More here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/ToGL

I don't know if it's of any use for Wine development however.

The license is as permissive as possible - in short Valve allows to do anything with their code.

Note that this is not an exhaustive review of this code. It's just the
first two things I found in a 2 minute look.

Those limitations make sense as design decisions for Valve's purposes,
but they make this wrapper useless for anything other than a cheap
compile-time abstraction layer between d3d and gl. Releasing this code
may be useful for other developers who want to port a game to Linux
though.
