: The original SwiftShader (including version 3.0) was developed by TransGaming Inc. You can find technical insights into its architecture by looking for older whitepapers or articles from TransGaming regarding their "SwiftShader" and "Cider" technologies, which focused on software-based pixel shading.

: The original 3.0 demo version included a logo. Because the current code is open-source under the Apache License 2.0 , you can build it yourself without any licensing restrictions or watermarks.
