***SGI Announces CosmoGL/Cosmo3D

Think OpenGL will never work for games? That's not the word from SGI,
maker of OpenGL.

SGI has announced Cosmo GL, "a highly optimized, fully compliant version
of OpenGL" for Win 95/NT.

According to SGI, "Cosmo GL brings the full range of OpenGL capabilities
and fast graphics performance for applications ranging from games to
complex CAD modeling systems on PCs without dedicated 3D graphics
hardware."

SGI also announced , Cosmo 3D, a "higher-level, cross-platform, object-
oriented graphics toolkit that enables the creation of multi-player
games, animation, collaborative design and engineering applications for
the Internet as well as the desktop."

Cosmo GL serves as the core renderer for Cosmo 3D.
