Experience OpenGL« for Three-Dimensional Modeling right from your PC Desktop with Hummingbird's Exceed 3D

Display and Develop OpenGL X Applications from within your Windows NT environment

With Hummingbird's optionally available Exceed 3D, users can access, display and develop high-end applications, like CAD/CAM engineering programs and computer animation software, on Windows 95 and Windows NT based PCs. Exceed 3D is the first PC X server to support OpenGL, an industry standard graphics software interface developed by Silicon Graphics, Inc. Exceed 3D lets users display OpenGL - based applications running on UNIX workstations across the network. Plus, with Exceed 3D's development tools, users can develop OpenGL X based applications on Windows 95 and Windows NT PCs. Animated 3-D local OpenGL X demos are included.

Display OpenGL Applications
on Windows NT PCs

Exceed 3D is the interface between OpenGL and the Exceed PC X server.

Supported features include:

  • Simultaneous multiple server visuals
  • Direct rendering
  • Overloaded X visuals to support GLX extended attributes (e.g. single/double buffering)
  • RGBA color mode, Color Index color mode
  • Viewing and modeling transformations
  • Lighting and shading
  • Anti-aliasing
  • Texture mapping
  • Hidden surface removal (Depth Buffer)
  • Atmospheric effects (fog, smoke, haze)
