[PD-dev] gem & 3dp/pf/pdp/pidip

[Tom Schouten]

hi,

an open letter to the gem devs :)

i'm not 100% there yet but time has come to start thinking
about a direct gem<->pdp/pf plug. 

my plans are:
* pix <-> pdp image packet converters
* plug 3dp into the gem 3d render chain

the pixbufs should not pose too many problems.

plugging in the render chain seems relatively easy too. all relevant 3dp code is
pure opengl. 3dp objects work like this: accept context packet, draw to or 
otherwize modify the context, and pass along. the context packet is not really
used atm, and serves as a 'bang': the objects draw to the current gl context.

so, i'm fishing for advice.

cheers
tom
