Re: Questions for CS6

[Dave LaRonde] "Will there be complete and total support for Open GL acceleration when rendering, no exceptions, no ifs ands or buts? My advice to people has alway been, "save yourself a lot of grief and confusion -- Turn Open GL off for rendering, and leave it off." Do I continue to offer that advice?"

You can tuck that stock answer in a drawer. OpenGL can still be used for Fast Previews, but it can no longer be used for output. The confusing and often dangerous OpenGL rendering options will be gone in CS6. (Yay!)

If you use the new Ray-Traced 3D renderer for a comp, it is accelerated by certain NVIDIA GPUs, and the output is the same from the CPU or GPU.
