so let me get this straight....

[i3corejonny]

so even if a laptop or desktop has direct x11, a high ghz , supports opengl2.1and shading language v1.2 and over but has a low or no graphics card at all ...supermodel will not run properly ????


im guessing it heavily relies on a modern graphics card to run it at 60 fps...

Yes.

Have you posted the output of 'supermodel -print-gl-info' or pasted an error.log file from a game session? If you want better answers, you need to provide more information.

Well, if you want to render lots of polygons and lots of textures (and don't forget about anti-aliasing, bump mapping, triple buffering and complicated word describing thingys) that's what a Graphics card is for.

Intel graphics: there's your problem. Intel GPUs have poor performance and are not designed for gaming or heavy 3D graphics. Although Supermodel requires OpenGL 2.1 and GLSL 1.2, if a graphics card only supports those, it is not likely to run Supermodel at full speed -- those are the API requirements and are the bare minimum required to run Supermodel.

You asked the same question here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=129

EDIT: and here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=160&p=1258#p1258

I don't want to come across unhelpful, but no matter how many different ways you ask the same question, the response will still remain the same. I appreciate that it's frustrating for you - and probably more than a little disappointing. But the answer to your fundamental question of 'these are my specs, what can I do to make Supermodel run better?' is you need a dedicated GPU.

arg i know... thankfully Christmas is not to far away now i guess i can hold out for a lil longer its just i so want to play these games at home. they've been my life at the amusements.... its annoying how demul, dolphin and model2 runs flawlessly but supermodel wont play at all on my shitty Intel laptop.*sigh* i knew it was gunna be a bad idea getting the cheapest laptop i could find.... :/

well, the emulators you mention are gpu demanding
did you try using the no_spot shader?

i try but it constantly comes up with error message saying "ignoring fragshader.gsl fragment.no.spotlight.gsl "
