1.1 Justification for software rendering

+
+

+3D rendering is done in software, 100% pure Java on CPU. At least for +now. Modern CPU cores count keeps growing and therefore rendering by +CPU is not as expensive as it used to be for the old single core +systems. +

+ +

+CPU rendering performance is already good enough to implement usable +3D UI at sufficient detail level, resolution and frame rate. +

-System is implemented in Java because: +Also CPU rendering allows to freely test different rendering and +optimization algorithms and retains complete control of every rendered +pixel.
