Introducing Conix 3D Explorer(tm)
The power of OpenGL® Graphics in Mathematica®
If you like Mathematica graphics, you'll love 3D Explorer - the
interactive graphics solution for Mathematica. With a single command
3D Explorer brings your Mathematica graphics to life in an interactive
OpenGL window, providing advanced rendering capabilities previously
reserved for high-end rendering systems. 3D Explorer's new graphics
options take your Mathematica graphics to a new level with smooth
shading, texture mapping, anti-aliasing, transparency, fog,
accumulation effects, and more!
While supporting all standard Mathematica graphics, 3D Explorer also
provides a new graphics type, GLGraphics, with extended graphics
primitives and directives. New features include continuous surfaces,
display lists, inline transformations, and per-element control over all
graphics options. Standard Mathematica graphics are easily converted
to GLGraphics and enhanced - allowing you to build directly on your
existing Mathematica graphics skills. With 3D Explorer's advanced
animation features you can create stunning interactive animations with
very large frame counts on computers with limited memory.
3D Explorer provides a full suite of functions from simple, easy to use,
routines to a full OpenGL-like programming environment. 3D Explorer's
low-level interface provides direct access to 100% of the OpenGL API,
allowing GLGraphics primitives to be extended to include any OpenGL
capability, from blending effects to pixel-level operations. Because
OpenGL commands can be executed directly in a Mathematica expression,
textbook OpenGL programming examples can be used within Mathematica.
This makes 3D Explorer a powerful OpenGL code development tool and
teaching aid, allowing you to quickly perform rendering experiments in
the flexible Mathematica environment.
3D Explorer comes with online documentation, including user's guide,
reference manual, programming examples, and demos. Quality email
technical support is provided by Conix Enterprises, tech@conix3d.com.
3D Explorer is currently available for Windows95/NT and PowerMac
platforms - X windows platforms are coming soon.
