Is there any way I could software emulate GLSL?. I need to use high level shaders in my program, and I use Irrlicht's openGL driver.
Thanks:lol: .

Lightspeed compilers are to slow...we need LUDICROUS SPEED!!!

What do you mean? Do you need real-time performance? IIRC, Mesa3D contains a software-only GLSL implementation...

Yeah real time, so that I can use it as a software shader on my computer.

Emulating GPU features usually gives non-realtime performance.

Actually, the GLSL emulation on Mesa uses LLVM to optimize the shader language before it executes. It should work in realtime.
