Ducky© is a flexible and versatile software system for processing, rendering, and animating 3D datasets. The system is based on a powerful, run-time interpreted language similar to C. The language includes many built-in functions for animation, rendering, shading, surface definition, and the creation of interactive menu and window-based visualization environments. Both volume and surface rendering methods are provided and may be combined in a single visualization. Ducky© can create animations in a sequence of different views of a structure either wihtin a 3D volume or across a series of volumes. Scripts implementing several common visualization tasks are provided. The system is readily extendible.
IRIX version compatibility: 5.2, 5.3
