(a Dassault Systèmes S.A. company) was the industry's first solid modeling component, providing software developers with the underlying 3D modeling functionality to create innovative, high-performance applications. ACIS offers advanced 3D technology for integrating wireframe, surface, and solid modeling, with both manifold and non-manifold topology. Featuring a superior open, object-orientated C++ architecture, it provides software developers with robust geometric modeling capabilities that include advanced blending, local operations, precise hidden line, shelling, space warping, advanced surfacing, and cellular topology. Activate Activate is the only available C/C++ toolkit for Microsoft Windows that provides breakthrough support for dramatically simplifying the months of hard work and frustration in adding VRML2 support to your 3D MS-Windows products. Since VRML 'in the raw' isn't an easy language to deal with, they've spent years learning the intricacies and making the mistakes so you won't have to. Geometric Computing The Geometric Computing product line includes powerful, interactive 3D modeling software, C++ based programming libraries, and other tools required to produce Real-Time 3D applications. Our products help software developers implement 3D graphics in both new and existing products. gxEngine gxEngine is a universal simulation and visualization system for Virtual Reality applications. Core functions of the product include: realtime simulation of interactive virtual environments high quality 3-dimensional visualization animation positional audio (music and sound f/x) physics simulation audiovisual effects, including particle system, lensflares etc. transparent linking of 3D applications over the Internet. IntraVISION SDK The IntraVISION® Software Developer's Kit (IV-SDK) version 4.2, for Windows® and UNIX platforms, enables developers to easily integrate multi-format viewing, markup, measurement, and conversion functionality into a variety of new and existing applications. With the IV-SDK, developers can produce their own private label viewers; build new revenue generating products; add viewing capabilities to CAD/CAM/CAE applications and data management solutions, like PDM and MES; and even add support for a particular OEM's proprietary file format. Lightflow Rendering Interface The Lightflow Rendering Interface is an object oriented programming interface to synthetic rendering, which provides a common environment and description language to treat light distribution in three dimensional spaces. A major advantage of the system is that it has been made looking for complete extensibility since its creation, providing the user with simple and flexible extension mechanisms, which allow, among the others, procedural definition of: surface and volumetric patterns and materials, new parametric surface types, general lighting systems, camera lenses and output redirection. The interface is made up by a set of language independent classes and procedures that allow to define three dimensional scenes, so that an actual interface implementation may be easily used both as an output device by external programs and as a separate rendering tool by single individuals. Currently, two versions of the Lightflow Rendering Interface are freely available for non commercial uses: the Client Side C++ API, and a limited Python wrapping that allows easy scene construction via scripting V3X V3X is a C/C++ 100% pure ANSI C SDK that supports both OpenGL (on Win32, BeOS, MacOs), Direct3D (under Win32), Glide (under Dos, Win32, BeOS, MacOS), and his own software rendering format (on Win32, BeOs, MacOs, Dos). World Up® WorldUp® is a complete software development and delivery environment for building 3D/VR applications. Building upon the foundation of EAI's award-winning WorldToolKit®, the industry's most widely used visual simulation software development toolkit, World Up provides powerful real-time functionality in an interactive, object-oriented environment. WorldToolKit® WorldToolKit® Release9 is a cross-platform software development system for building high-performance, real-time, integrated 3D applications for scientific and commercial use. WorldToolKit R9 has the function library and end-user productivity tools that are essential for creating, managing and commercializing virtual reality applications. With the high-level application programmer's interface (API), you can quickly prototype, develop and reconfigure applications as required. WorldToolKit R9 also supports network-based distributed simulations, CAVE-like immersive display options, and the industry's largest array of interface devices, such as headmounted displays, trackers and navigation controllers.
