true...

the primary issue that sooooo many people seem to be concerned with is the issue of how light will be rendered in "BoB SoW". Almost all of the graphics questions I read can be boiled down to an inquiry about (real time?) "light rendering"...weather someone wants to know about reflections, mist, smoke, fire, clouds, tree's, "depth of field", whatever...it's ALL an issue of "light rendering" in one way or another.

Some people have expressed concern over OpenGL's ability to render "state-of-the-art" lighting effects (vs micro$ofts DirectX), but I hear that some interesting work has been done in the field of "real time" light rendering within the OpenGL standard... Oleg has already stated that (any) delay(?) with "BoB SoW's" release is not due to the delay in the OpenGL 3.0 standard, so we can assume (I guess) that he has been working within the 2.1 graphics core spec's... I wonder who's work (or theory) his light rendering will be based on?
