Haim, Certainly, it's not a clear case that HW geometry engines will completely replace SW engines. Many SW vendors will not use a "standard" lighting algorithm and prefer to light their own vertices. The OpenGL spec is fairly specific about their lighting algorithms. If you had a choice between high speed OpenGL compliant lighting, or considerably slower proprietary lighting, which would you choose? It does not seem a wise choice to deliberately choose a slower algorithm, for most applications. (Unless you are doing something unusual like ray-tracing.) Scumbria
