NuGraf is a complete development system for creating 3D computer graphics applications, the toolkit handles all aspects of the 3D modeling and rendering process.

High-speed, 32-bit broadcast-quality scanline renderer based on a hybrid Z-scanline/A-buffer algorithm.
Support for third party renderers via a back-end custom rendering interface. NuGraf ships with a full featured OpenGL(tm) interface module.
Hierarchical database management and inquiry system.
650 pages of documentation.
Efficient interfaces provided to allow large quantities of polygonal data to be passed into the database, including a host-based callback mechanism (the "user-defined" primitive). A mathematically stable sub-library of polygon welding and smoothing operations optimize any raw data for rendering (ex: DXF).
Meshed polygon vertices can be assigned a color, normal, (u,v) texture coordinates, and U/V tangent information.
Complex n-sided polygons with recursive holes & islands.
Sphere, cone, and cylinder quadric primitives with implicit texture parameterizations. Box, prism, disc and rectangle primitives with implicit texture parameterizations.
NURB and bicubic patch primitives with selectable basis.
Scenes are created using object instancing and hierarchical attachment.
Omnidirectional, unidirectional or spot light sources with numerous options: intensity, color, decay,fall-off, softness, shadow parameters.
Implementation of PIXAR's soft shadow technique with tiling optimizations.
A wide selection of predefined surface shaders: 2D texture mapping, Perlin and Peachy 3D procedural texture functions, spherical/cubical environment and planar reflectance mapping, mist and fog full-featured atmospheric shaders, flat, gouraud or phong shading models, phong or blinn specular highlight.
State-of-the-art analytic 2D texture filtering algorithms.
Output drivers for images, X11-Windows, SGI, Windows and VGA.
The library is available on a wide range of platforms, including Apple Macintosh, IBM PC 32-bit DOS, Microsoft Windows v3.1 (32-bit), Microsoft Windows NT (32-bit DLL), Linux + X11, SUN workstations, Silicon Graphics workstations and DEC Alpha AXP (Windows NT).
