11.11.1997 ZED

22.06.1995

The ZED engine is a very basic 3D engine from Sebastion Loisel (zed@sgi.com). It was developed in conjuction with the ZED 3D tutorial about polygon scanconversion, texture mapping and phong shading.

• Z-sorting.
• No light calculations.
• No clipping.
• Reads ASC files.

The tutorial and source is available on the Homepage of Sebastion Loisel.

08.07.1997 EarthQuake

08.07.1997

EarthQuake is a wireframe Quake level viewer from Eric Victor Powers (powerg@deltanet.com).

• Support for Windows 95.
• Perspective wireframe rendering of levels and dynamic objects (BSP and MDL) .
• Extracts and packs Quake PAK files.
• Portal rendering.
• C source.

The source can be found on the EarthQuake Hopmepage.

23.07.1996 X3D

12.06.1995

X3D is an X11-Windows wireframe viewer from Mark Spychalla (spy@castlab.engr.wisc.edu).

• Stereo rendering support.
• Multiple line colors in non-stereo mode.
• Hidden line / Hidden surface display modes.
• Utiltiy to compute convex hull of polygons.

The source can be found on ftp.cae.wisc.edu.

21.03.1996 Sced

19.09.1995

Sced is a constraint based scene modeller using wireframe display from Stephen Chenney (stephen@cs.su.oz.au).

• X11-Windows support.
• Simple primitive objects can be created and there is full support for Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG), which allows for the definition of complex objects using set operations on simpler objects.
• Objects can be positioned in the scene, scaled, rotated, copied, moved etc. Constraints are used to position and shape objects.
• Sced produces output files for POVRay, Rayshade, Genray, Radiance, RenderMan or Genscan and also saves OFF files.
• Support for camera, light and material properties.
• C source.
• Elk Scheme extension language support.

The source can be found on plaza.aarnet.edu.au or via the Sced Homepage.

04.09.1995 Retarded Vectors

12.06.1995

The RV package contains a wireframe engine by Jon Beltran de Heredia (jtabeolj@bi.ehu.es) aka Yann from Iguana.

• ASM for all PCs.
• 3D projection.
• Fixed point math.
• Motion blur.

The source can be found on x2ftp.oulu.fi . More info in the Retarded Vectors Readme.

19.06.1995 3DG

19.06.1995

3DG is a wireframe viewer for PCs by Greg Ecker (eckerg@is.nyu.edu) that uses the Borland BGI interface. The C++/ASM source can be found on x2ftp.oulu.fi.

12.06.1995 VOGLE

12.06.1995

VOGLE (very ordinary graphics learning environment) is a device portable graphics library that is loosely based on the Silicon Graphics Iris GL. VOGL was done by Eric H. Echidna (echidna@munnari.OZ.AU).

• C source.
• Drivers for postscript, sun workstation, apollo workstations, X11-Windows (R4 & R5), tektronix (401x), hpgl, dxy, and the ibm pc cards: hercules mono, cga, ega, vga and sigma, Windows and HP graphics terminals..
• Bezier patches, polygons, arcs, lines and hershey font 2D text support.
• Flat and wireframe rendering (no shading!)

The source can be found on munnari.oz.au .

12.06.1995 VOGL

12.06.1995

VOGL (very ordinary GL Like Library) is a device portable graphics library that tries to be Silicon Graphics Iris GL compatible. The intention is that any VOGL program will compile unchanged on a machine running SGI GL (the examples do). VOGL is based entirely on the other graphics library VOGLE. VOGL was done by Eric H. Echidna (echidna@munnari.OZ.AU).

• C source.
• Drivers for postcript, sun workstation, apollo workstations, X11-Windows (R2, R3 & R4), tektronix (401x), hpgl, dxy, and the ibm pc cards: hercules mono, cga, ega, vga and sigma.
• Bezier patches, polygons, arcs, lines and hershey font 2D text support.
• Flat and wireframe rendering (no shading!)

The source can be found on munnari.oz.au .

12.06.1995 3D KIT

12.06.1995

3D Kit is a package that contains some tools for 3-D wireframe graphics, both in binary (PC) and C source forms. 3D Kit is from Oscar Garcia (garciao@mof.govt.nz).
The source can be found on x2ftp.oulu.fi.
