3d libraries

2005-03-08 00:47:12.920843+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Today's "happy coding experiences" are brought to you by:

  • Virtual Terrain Project, a handy system of tools and libraries for managing both the art path and rendering of terrain data.
  • Open Scene Graph, a handy library to represent 3d geometry.
  • FreeGLUT, a free and more modern implementation of the GLUT cross-platform application framework for OpenGL.

And last, the library which has been most fun and handy today:

  • GLGooey, a set of GUI elements which use OpenGL for rendering, providing skinnable controls which can be transparent and integrate in with your 3d scene rather nicely.

I can highly recommend all of them, separately, or in concert.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
