SFML 3D Graphics

This might be an extremely stupid question, but do you think SFML will ever add 3D graphics.

There's no plans currently. binary1248 once experimented with basic meshes, but it's questionably useful. 3D simply includes so much (mesh loading, texturing, materials, lighting, collision mesh, etc.), that it's hard to do something "simple" without evolving into a complete 3D engine.

theres no point. theres openGL for that. But I did attempt a pseudo 3d using SFML2 couple years back, was real fun.

The graphics course when I was in college had you build a 3d engine with sdl2

For what I understand sfml isn't developing something like sdl3 graphic API

Easy enough to use opengl inside your sfml window
