Conix 3D Explorer Provides Advanced Rendering Capabilities for Mathematica Users Champaign, Illinois-April 30, 1998 -With Conix 3D Explorer, Mathematica users can now manipulate Mathematica graphics in the interactive OpenGL environment. This OpenGL-based visualization tool provides advanced rendering capabilities previously reserved only for high-end rendering systems. "It's unique among 3D viewers because you can program OpenGL from within Mathematica," says Bob Beretta, Vice President of Research & Development at Conix Enterprises. "3D Explorer is a powerful OpenGL code development tool and teaching aid, making it ideal for teachers, students, and scientists." While supporting all standard Mathematica graphics objects, 3D Explorer also provides the new GLGraphics object type, with extended graphics primitives and directives. 3D Explorer's features include continuous surfaces, display lists, in-line transformations, and element-by-element control over all graphics options. With 3D Explorer's advanced animation features, users can create stunning interactive animations with very large frame counts-even on computers with limited memory. 3D Explorer's graphics options allow smooth shading, texture mapping, antialiasing, transparency, fog, accumulation effects, and more. Developed and supported by Conix Enterprises, Inc., 3D Explorer is available for Windows 95/NT and PowerMac platforms. X-windows platforms will follow shortly.
