3dengfx - realtime visualization system

This is a non-exhaustive feature-list of 3dengfx, just to give you an idea of what this library can do.

Where there is a [code] link, it means that you can see a snall code fragment demonstrating how to use that feature.

Rendering and Special Effects

• Automatic reflections through auto-generated, or pre-stored cubemaps.
• Dynamic shadow generation using the shadow volume algorithm. [code]
• Advanced particle systems, with custom text-based particle system definition file format.
• Support for OpenGL 2.0 Shading Language shaders (GLSL).

Geometry and Scene Management

• Volumetric data polygonization using the marching cubes algorithm.
• Loading of full 3d environments with lights, cameras, materials, and animation, from 3ds files [code].
• Loading of geometry from ply files.
• Mesh generation for standard primitives, fractal landscapes, and Utah teapots :)
• Frustum culling is performed automatically on all scenes.

Animation

• Each object, camera, or light, can be given a time-based keyframe track, function-based controller, or spline path to follow.
• Hierarchical animation, works with all of the available animation methods.

Textures and Images

• Texture loading through a build-in image loading/saving library for jpeg, png, tga, and ppm files.
• Image processing library.
• Constant rate frame output to disk, for capturing a 3D animation to video.
• Antialiased text rendering with FreeType 2.

Misc.

• Can be compiled to use either the native windowing system (X11/Win32), SDL, GLUT, or GTK+ (experimental)
• Full mathematics library with vectors, matrices, quaternions, numerical integration, and cubic spline interpolation facilities.
• Real-time sequence scripting system, with post-processing capabilities, perfect for real-time demos.
