Recently Apple has introduced Metal API for lowest-overhead access to the GPU. It appears in the new OS X El Capitan. This technology will be available in both desktop and mobile Apple platforms.
I think it's a good idea to support Metal in Ogre and start to write Metal Render System.
So, may be it's time to make a record about support for Metal in the current roadmap?

Re: Support for Apple Metal
I expect metal will disappear once vulkan is ready, don't forget apple helped to make vulkan as well.

Re: Support for Apple Metal
Will have the same fate like Mantle did. right now i'm early started to develop to the Metal Rendering Subsystem for OGRE when i updated to the beta of El Capitan in my MacBook Pro, looks more understanable than OpenGL did.Zonder wrote:I expect metal will disappear once vulkan is ready, don't forget apple helped to make vulkan as well.
