Aviatrix3D Feature List

• Multithreaded design capable of making use of multi-CPU machines (Hyperthreading, dual core and/or multiple chip configurations)
• Design to support wide range of output devices
• Based on OpenGL - all features of OpenGL are available for use
• Simple, minimalistic, unambiguous API design
• Extensibility as a primary design requirement
• Open Source license (LGPL)

• Spatialised audio using OpenAL.
• Wide range of utilities included including file loaders, particle systems, skinned meshes, navigation systems and more.
• Render-to-texture (pBuffer) support as a first-class node of the scene graph.
• GL 1.5 features supported such as shader programs, fog coordinates, edge flags etc.
• Layers (compositing), viewport control as well as multipass rendering all treated as first class capabilities within the scene graph. This allows for the use of traditional non-scenegraph rendering techniques such as volumetric textures to be coded simply and easily.
• Native SWT and Eclipse plugin support as a standard capability.
• Ability to inject arbitrary OpenGL calls at any given time of the rendering process
• Maximum use of performance-enhancing strategies such as VBOs, raw byte streams for textures etc.
• Batch picking API - rather than make multiple traversals of the scene graph for different picks, make a single traversal using multiple different picking objects.
• Pluggable rendering pipeline infrastructure allowing for optimised rendering techniques for both single and multiprocessor/threaded systems.
