TransGaming’s SwiftShader

BY: BRIAN ROBBINS  |  Advergames, Casual Games, Game Industry

This probably isn’t something we’d normally blog about since Advergame developers won’t get access to this technology until a plugin developer actually incorporates it. (hint-hint Virtools, Macromedia, etc :) )

Local Ottawa-based company TransGaming has just released SwiftShader. This is a technology that provides a software renderer for the latest pixel and vertex shader effects. To put it in layman’s terms, with this technology developer’s can use the latest and greatest graphical goodies, and not have to worry about their users having the latest video cards, or the latest driver or DirectX version.

Oberon media has apparently licensed it for their tool-suite, so casual game developers can start using it now.
