Warp3D was a project originally run by Haage & Partner in 1998, that aimed to provide a standard API which would enable programmers to access, and therefore use, 3D hardware on the Amiga.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/warp3d.html )〕 Its design was similar to that of both the Picasso96 graphics card drivers and operated in a similar fashion to the 3dfx Glide API, which provided a uniform and standardised way for programmers to create software for the 3D graphics cards that were available at the time.〔 It was hoped that the creation of this API would not only encourage the development and release of more 3D graphics cards, but also move away from the situation where a new piece of hardware had been developed with no software available to run on it. If the particular piece of software used the Warp3D API (enabled through a shared library), any current or newly developed hardware would be able to be used.〔 In 2014, it was announced that Warp3D is now jointly owned by British company, A-EON Technology Ltd. On April 1st 2015 A-EON Technology subsequently released Warp3D for RadeonHD (Southern Islands chipset) through their Amiga App Store, AMIStore. The company has indicated that further developments of the Warp3D API are in the works and scheduled for 2016. ==Running Requirements== Warp3D requires the following in order to work properly * An AmigaOS compatible system with CyberGraphX or Picasso96, containing: * * At least a 040 processor with FPU for AmigaOS versions predating 4.0 * * A PowerPC CPU for AmigaOS 4.0+ * * Optionally PowerPC supported on WarpOS〔 * * Any of these graphics cards: * * * CyberVision 3D * * * CyberVision PPC * * * BlizzardVision PPC〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://download.haage-partner.de/Amiga/3DWorld/Warp3D/Warp3D-3.0.readme )〕 * * * Any 3Dfx Voodoo card * * * ATI Rage 128 * * * ATI Radeon R100, R200 * * * ATI RadeonHD Southern Islands graphics cards It also requires 3D hardware to be present, and will not run with graphics cards that are 2D only, or AGA, ECS or OCS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://download.haage-partner.de/Amiga/3DWorld/Warp3D/Warp3D-4.0.readme )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Warp3D」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
