Re: [Nebula-Discuss] opengl : few bug report + running issues

Hi,

I have a break in nopengl module developing because of my job but if you
have a time we can do some work together. I'll be appreciate for that. Two
heads are better than one :)

I'll check that.

I know that. I just make it works without exceptions. But it still has some
logical errors.

I rewrote only some simple DX shaders to GLSL. Other should be done.

If you have time and desire to help it would be great.
