Conix 3D Explorer



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. For more information, visit www.conix3D.com. To
order Conix 3D Explorer, visit the Wolfram Research Store at
store.wolfram.com/catalog/apps/ or contact your local reseller. 

Wolfram Research is the world's leading developer of technical computing
software. The company was founded by Stephen Wolfram in 1987 and
released the first version of its flagship product, Mathematica, on
June 23, 1988. Mathematica, the world's only fully integrated technical
computing system, is relied on today by more than a million users
worldwide in industry, government, and education. Mathematica 3.0.1 was
released in the spring of 1997. Wolfram Research, Inc. is headquartered
in Champaign, Illinois. More information about Mathematica and Wolfram
Research is available at http://www.wolfram.com.
