OpenCSG is a library that does image-based CSG rendering using OpenGL. OpenCSG
|
|
is written in C++ and supports most modern graphics hardware.
|
|
|
|
What is CSG, anyway? CSG is short for Constructive Solid Geometry and denotes
|
|
an approach to model complex 3D-shapes using simpler ones. I.e., two shapes
|
|
can be combined by taking the union of them, by intersecting them, or by
|
|
subtracting one shape of the other. The most basic shapes, which are not
|
|
result of such a CSG operation, are called primitives. Primitives must be
|
|
solid, i.e., they must have a clearly defined interior and exterior. By
|
|
construction, a CSG shape is also solid then.
