Apple has deprecated OpenGL on all its devices: https://www.anandtech.com/show/12894/apple-deprecates-opengl...


Noob question: There's a way to write a OpenGL drive that uses Metal underneath?


The same company which originally built MoltenVK built MoltenGL for specifically this purpose.

Awesome! Maybe some company like that could offer their driver for free to blender community, as a marketing strategy. I believe that even have some space to a sector giant (like autodesk) acquire this type of company.


It's probably possible yes.

I don't know if one already exist for OpenGL, but for Vulkan there's MoltenVK: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK
