From prototyping to full deployment of advanced applications for internal and commercial use, Open Inventor® offers high-level tools that enable developers to rapidly design and build advanced 3D interactive graphics applications and significantly reduces the process of designing, developing, and maintaining applications.
Object-oriented 3D API:
Open Inventor offers
a comprehensive object-oriented set of more than 1300
ready-to-use classes integrated in a user-friendly
framework for rapid development. The scene graph paradigm
provides ready-to use graphics programming patterns
and the truly object-oriented design encourages extensibility
and customization to satisfy specific requirements.
Advanced development help:
The IvTune graphical
utility is the definitive tool for prototyping and
tuning 3D applications. Pluggable in any Open Inventor
application, IvTune presents synchronized views of
the scene graph: a 3D View, a Tree View, a node overview
window, a field editor and a field watch. This allows
for fast tuning and debugging at run time, and ideally
complements the numerous code examples provided with
Open Inventor for quick learning.
Don’t want to re-invent
the wheel? Open Inventor® by Mercury provides high-level built-in components which
deliver ready-to-use robust solutions to common but
thorny issues in 3D advanced applications development.
Open Inventor allows you to keep up with cutting edge
techniques with least effort, including the performance
optimization coming with every new generation of hardware
that require additional work with low-level APIs.
