Open Inventor(TM) is an object-oriented 3D toolkit offering a comprehensive
solution to interactive graphics programming problems. It presents a
programming model based on a 3D scene database that dramatically simplifies
graphics programming. It includes a rich set of objects such as cubes,
polygons, text, materials, cameras, lights, trackballs, handle boxes,
3D viewers, and editors that speed up your programming time and extend
your 3D programming capabilities.
Open Inventor:
