It is an extension to GNUstep, which provides an object oriented
|
||
|
|
application development framework and tool set for use on a wide
|
||
|
|
variety of computer platforms. GNUstep is based on the original
|
||
|
|
OpenStep specification provided by NeXT, Inc. (now Apple). Additionally
|
||
|
|
the GNU 3DKit may also be used on Mac OS X using the Cocoa API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The GNU 3DKit's main purpose is to provide an elegant foundation
|
||
|
|
commonly required to write 3D applications.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The kit consists of 2 frameworks and some bundles, all written in
|
||
|
|
Objective-C:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* The GeometryKit implements often required mathematical functionality.
|
||
|
|
* The RenderKit implements the core rendering API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* An OpenGL based preview renderer.
|
||
|
|
* A raytracing based high quality renderer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The emphasis of the kit lies in a clean, object-oriented design
|
||
|
|
which enables ease of use and high performance rendering.
