I was wondering if anyone knows details on 3D programming systems such as Phigs on the NeXT. How about 3D modelling software, rendering, etc. Thanks in advance, B p.s. I did see the RenderMan articles. Any other info???? -- Brian Corrie (bcorrie@csr.uvic.ca) Under the most rigorously controlled conditions of pressure, temperature, volume, humidity and other variables, the organism will do as it damn well pleases. Sounds like some of the code I have written...... 8-)

They support heirarchical modelling, multiple renderers per scene, and a View3D object you can place in window using Interface Builder. Of course it gives you object-oriented graphics. The API is based more-or-less on the 2nd edition of Foley and VanDamm, which is a subset of PHIGS. You can plug any kinds of renderers you want into it. I have only had time to write a wire-frame renderer. The system isn't polished, isn't documented, and I won't have time to do more work on it unless someone wants to pay me. Hint hint. Let me know if you're interested. Doug Kent Independent NeXT Developer adonis1@nwnexus.wa.com
