Here is a list of softwares that have been developed in our team.

Internal developments

libQGLViewer

libQGLViewer is a GPL-free software C++ library, based on openGL and Qt, which eases the development of a new 3D applications. It is designed for 3D developers, who can design a versatile and powerful 3D viewer with only a few lines of code. The viewer is designed to be as general as possible and is not designed for a specific 3D application. It provides some useful classical functionalities such as a camera trackball, screenshot saving, mouse manipulated frames, stereo display, keyFrames and more.

X3DToolkit

X3DToolKit is a LGPL free C++ library for loading and processing X3D models. It has been designed so that extending the X3D language is easy.

VRender

VRender is a simple tool to render the content of an OpenGL window to a vectorial device such as Postscript, XFig (and soon SVG). The main usage of this library is to make clean vector drawings for publications, books, mainly from 3D data, but not only.

TiffIO

TiffIO is a plugin that enable any Qt based application to read/write TIFF images through the standard Qt's QImage class.

SciPres

SciPres is a system for creating animated presentations.

Software related to publications

Dynamic Canvas

The Dynamic Canvas technics allows, during a virtual walkthrough stylized as a "tour in a picture", to ensure a background having a 2D look while following the 3D motions. The code of the Dynamic Canvas for Immersive Non-Photorealistic Walkthroughs article is available from the publication web page.

Diffusion curves

Diffusion curves is a new vector-based primitive for creating smooth-shaded images. A protoype is availabel for windows on the publication page.
