Re: [Public WebGL] WEBGL extension suggestion: EXT_shader_framebuffer_fetch

["Ken Russell (kbr@google.com)" <public_webgl@khronos.org>]

Hi Ray,

Yes, a high-impact but mostly mobile-only extension like this can certainly be considered. Would you please take a little time and put up a pull request on https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGL under https://github.com/KhronosGroup/WebGL/tree/master/extensions/proposals, following the XML pattern there?

Thanks,

-Ken

years.

This is ironic given the opposition to adding programmable blending to OpenGL over many, many years, decades even, on the grounds that it would cause performance issues.
