What is Object3D?

Object 3D is a library for the programmer. But if there is also a Vbx available. It's a C++ library, but you can also use it at a standard DLL, from C,Basic or any other program which can use DLL's.
But from C++ you'll get the easiest use.
The picture on the right, and all the pictures from this screen are directly grabbed from programs using object3D. So these are real time moving object, even on a 486DX33 (my computer!).

So, a list of the features:

C++ Library
Texture Mapping
Can have "transparent" mapping
Light sourcing ( constant or gouraud)
Can be used also from C (DLL)
VBX available to use from Visual Basic
Using the C++ subclassing, you can add your own kind of graphic element
This lib has the unique feature to draw REAL spheres in real time.

You can download a very very old demo of this library, running under Windows here: Download Object3D Demo

Here hese a screen capture of a program using Object3D ( this program is in the demo )

View3D.VBX

Using the VBX version, you can add a moving 3D object in your sourcecode without writing one line of code!

With your mouse, just choose with object you want to display, in which position,etc... You can access to position, angles, attributes of the object.
You have the choice to modify by program the position of the object, or just let the user move himself the object. You even don't need to write code to give this feedback.
Here's more info on the VBX:View3D.VBX Online Manual

Examples

Here some exemple of different attributes of the object. That's always the same object, but we have changed the attribute of all the face, with the SetAllFace() function.

Here, we've put evrything in wire frame.
Now, evrythng is shaded, and we see a texture mapped.
And at least, there is some Gouraud shading.

This page is listed by 3D Graphic Engines site. It's really an interesting site.

Now, just in case you're interested, you can play with the dirigable, if you have a VRML browser. Yes, the modele is not yet finished! Note that object3D should incorporate VRML soon!
