*** CUB'X SYSTEMES ANNOUNCES intuitiv'3d API ***
PARIS, France, September 16, 1993 - Cub'x Systemes, developer of
Cub'X-Window and intuitiv'3d, announced today the availability of
intuitiv'3d API.
intuitiv'3d is an object oriented environment for 3d modeling and
rendering which exploits all the power of RenderMan to create
astounding models and photo-realistic images on NEXTSTEP Motorola
and Intel.
The Application Programming Interface (API) allows programmers
involved in 3d data modelization to add their own classes to
intuitiv'3d environment. As intuitiv'3d provides all the necessary
basic features (drag and drop interface, 3d primitives, hierarchy
browser, cameras, shaders, lights, user extensible library, test
and final rendering...) one can rapidly concentrate and experiment
custom development in 3d.
Q -- WHAT CAN I DO WITH intuitiv'3d API?
The intuitiv'3d API can be used to create 3d modelling systems,
complex automated shaders and lights, 3d groups with inspectors
and more! As an example, intuitiv'3d main modules (the Modeler
and the Mathematica Data Link) were written with the API.
intuitiv'3d supports the advanced concept of pre-rendering. Any
object developed with the API automatically inherits the
shadow-mapping, surface-mapping and environmental-mapping
capabilities of intuitiv'3d.
intuitiv'3d API is composed of the necessary documentation to
write a new module, example source code for two intuitiv'3d
modules, Objective-C headers to compile new classes, template files
so that you won't have to begin from scratch everytime you write a
new module. The API also includes extra intuitiv'3d objects.
Q -- HOW CAN I GET intuitiv'3d and intuitiv'3d's API?
Cub'x Systemes offers academic institutions and students a special
pricing policy allowing them to access today the highest quality
3d environment for NEXTSTEP. Students who ftp the package and
submit proof of current student status can purchase intuitiv'3d
+ Modeler & Mathematica modules at $150.
The API is free.
intuitiv'3d educational bundle and API can be downloaded from
archive site cs.orst.edu (/pub/next/submissions or
/pub/next/binaries/Graphics).
"We are very interested by your work with intuitiv'3d's API," said
Gerard Laurent, General Manager . "A dedicated e-mail address
(intuitiv_api@cubx.com) has been created to allow you to speak
with us about your projects. You can also submit technical
questions about intuitiv'3d's API to this address. Keep in mind
that Cub'x Systemes could be interested in the commercialization of
your project."
Cub'x Systemes, Paris, France, develops highly efficient solutions
for NEXTSTEP.
