OpenGl specs!Of course, MW is DX8, however, the documentation for elements in OpeGL is better described.
Those. as you can easily see, the MW engine is perfectly readable through the prism of object names in OpGl terminology.The article is extremely useful for general development in general, on 3d rendering techniques.It can also explain in more detail the principles of operation of the details of nif files.Of course, not everything will be available through editing nif files, but this can be (partially) replenished through MWSE 2.X.
