OpenGL Software Rendering Alternatives

I need the software to display OpenGL on Windows and already find out about Mesa3D , which does not provide a DLL, and I have a bit of pain to build ... Are there alternatives?

As far as I was looking, the only option is to use the WebGL renderer, which only Chrome supports today. Direct3D has a link driver (which is really unstable) and a Swiftshader, which is good and expensive.

After a few headaches, I managed to create Mesa3D for Windows, but only the old version that still supported it. At least it has amazing performance.

It depends on which version of OpenGL you want to speed up. There are several alternatives depending on your needs. I have listed those that I know about below:

OpenGL 1.0 and 1.1

Windows ( Windows NT 3.5) OpenGL . - , . Microsoft OpenGL 1.0 1.1, , . OpenGL 1.0 1.1 ( ), . , Windows OpenGL OpenGL ES 1.x OpenGL 1.0 1.1.

OpenGL 1.4

, Windows Vista Microsoft , OpenGL Direct3D; OpenGL 1.4. , , Windows Vista ( ?) OpenGL SC. , , , - Windows. , Windows OpenGL (OpenGL 1.0 1.1) Windows Vista .

OpenGL ES 2.0

, ANGLE, WebGL OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL ES 2.0 DirectX 9 11. , OpenGL ES 3.0 . ANGLE, .

OpenGL 3.1

Mesa 3D ( OpenGL 3.1) :

  • swrast
  • softpipe
  • llvmpipe

( Mesa) softpipe ( ), . , llvmpipe , , , - , JIT native SIMD.

I used Transgaming 's Swiftshader for a production project before, and I have to say it was brilliant. A little expensive, but brilliant.
