Thank you to them and Stephan Bergmann for answering my questions, and thank you to Google for funding the feature under the Summer of Code 2007. Mathews, Thorsten Behrens, and Radek Doulik for engineering the 3D OpenGL transitions for Impress. Windows users: right now this feature is Linux only.Search for on or and install the appropriate packages for your Linux distribution.Install my old, experimental build which has the feature built in (not an extension) via HTTP or via BitTorrent.Mandriva users: install the package -core version 2.4 or newer with the file.OpenSUSE users: install package OpenOffice_org version 2.4 or newer with the file.

Ubuntu and Debian users: install the package -ogltrans.Install OxygenOffice 2.4 (currently in beta).Nevertheless, there are several ways right now to use the OpenGL transitions, though none are compatible with the vanilla. In conclusion, where is it? It's not available. Then, I asked Impress Grand Ninja Thorsten Behren who told me it is in fact possible to build it using a special build environment (which I did not use). I asked, and Extension Grand Ninja Stephan Bergmann explained it can't be done because of binary linking problems. oxt extension would be released with 2.4.Īfter the 2.4 release, I tried to build the extension myself from the source. It is perhaps the most exciting feature from the 2.4 release. 2.4 is here, and people are asking where is the touted OpenGL 3D extension for Impress? Inquiring minds want to know.
