						SGI Release =
OpenGL Sample Implementation to Open Source =
Community

						01/26/00 SGI has just released =
source code for its OpenGL Sample Implementation to the open source =
community. The Sample Implementation is a reference implementation of =
the OpenGL, GLU, and GLX APIs, and also serves as the basis for almost =
all vendor-supported OpenGL hardware drivers in existence today. This is =
a major step in ensuring the widespread availability of high-quality, =
high-performance OpenGL drivers for the Linux platform. The OpenGL =
Sample Implementation source code is available for download from SGI's =
open source developer Web site at http://oss.sgi.com. The FAQ =
explains more about the sample implementation, its impact and how this =
is a very open license!

						

						Mirai v 1.1 =
OpenGL Animation System enhances speed and adds =
features

						01/26/00 Mirai is a integrated =
2D/3D editor and animation system for game developers. The new version =
enhances render speed supports depth of filed and orthographic =
rendering, adds more geometry and skeletal animation tools, adds =
flipbooks and animation curves, and more.

						

						Innovation3D =
OpenGL modeler for Linux (beta)

						01/25/00 Inovation3D is a =
well-featured, open source, OpenGL-accelerated 3D modeling program =
developed for Linux using the QT2.0 interface . It lets you: model with =
splines, meshes, and surfaces; sweep/revolve a spline into a triangle =
mesh or a Nurbs surface; modify object properties; texture map and fine =
tune the mapping coordinates with the UVEditor; create keyframe =
animations, using IK and skeletal deformation; and animate colors and UV =
coordinates.

						

						Crazy Marbles =
game adds OpenGL support

						01/25/00 Saw on Voodoo Extreme a note that =
Crazy Marbles, the winner of the Golden Oldies contest, now includes =
support for OpenGL Crazy Marbles is game where you guide a marble =
through an obstacle range and try to reach the end as quickly as =
possible. 3 level demo version available

						

						DemoGL v 1.2 =
visual & audio fx synchronization tools add GeForce support =


						01/25/00 DemoGL for Win32 lets =
you to time, synch and play OpenGL powered effects together with MP3 =
music The SDK comes with example code and complete documentation. DemoGL =
is currently available for Visual C++ version 5 and 6. It is free for =
graphical demos and other non commercial applications. The new version =
fixes memory leak and adds support for GeForce extensions

						

						Quantum Galaxy =
OpenGL screensaver

						01/25/00 A slick looking =
screensaver that takes full advantage of OpenGL.

						

						MindRover =
OpenGL game free add-on components

						01/25/00 Coginitoy has released =
two free components that extend the funtionality of MindRover: Advanced =
Logic for programming your vehicle and Health sensors for vehicle =
repair. In MindRover you are a researcher on Europa. In your free time =
you re-program the vehicles to race around the hallways, battle it out =
with mini lasers and rocket launchers, and navigate through mazes. =
Reviwed on Gamepost.

						GL4Java 2.1.3.2 =
adds support for Mesa 3.1 (with OpenGL 1.2 features) and GLU =
1.2

						01/25/00 Spazz3D for Win9x/NT =
lets you design, build, assign interactivity and animations to 3-D =
scenes & Text. It outputs AVI or VRML 97 fies. OpenGL is used for =
lighting, texturing and rendering. A screensaver is included that lets =
you play your VRML worlds

						

						Soldier of =
Fortune OpenGL game demo now available.

						01/25/00 In Activision's SOF, you =
play the role of a military mercenary and hit the road. You'll have to =
use your reflexes and your wits to negotiate tense hostage situations or =
take down terrorist encampments in any number of international locales; =
from the dark subways of New York City to the roof of a speeding train =
in Russia. Requires an OpenGL accelerator.

						

						Altered Worlds =
OpenGL screensaver now for Linux

						01/21/00 Altered Worlds Free 3D =
OpenGL screensavers now run on Linux in addition to Win9x/NT. The Linux =
version also lets you run a spinning 3D desktop on your root window. =
Download is free and includes several screensavers.

						

						Spazz3D authors =
VRML using OpenGL rendering

						01/21/00 Spazz3D for Win9x/NT =
lets you design, build, assign interactivity and animations to 3-D =
scenes & Text. It outputs AVI or VRML 97 fies. OpenGL is used for =
lighting, texturing and rendering. A screensaver is included that lets =
you play your VRML worlds

						

						Strangesaver =
runs OpenGL apps as screensavers

						01/20/00 Saw on DemoNews that in =
addition to running demos recorded in Quake, QUake II, Quake III, =
Half-Life, the Strangesaver screensaver now runsany executable as a =
screensaver, allowing users to run Open GL demos as screensavers The =
StrangeSaver Demos pack comes with three OpenGL demos, Colfire, Arc and =
SpringMatrix, (the pick from the OpenGL Challenge.

						

						OpenGL fog =
tutorial

						01/20/00 Here is a pretty short =
tutorial from NeHe Producitons aimed at teaching you the art of fog =
using OpenGL. You'll learn how to use 3 different fog filters, how to =
change the color of the fog, and how to set how far into the screen the =
fog starts and how far into the screen it ends. Definitely a nice effect =
to know! This is the 16th OpenGL tutorial on this excellent resources =
site.

						

						NVIDIA, SGI and =
VA Linux To Bring OpenGL 1.2 To Desktop Linux

						01/19/00 NVIDIA (3D graphics =
hardware and software) , SGI (3D & OpenGL) and VA Linux Systems (2D =
graphics and multi-monitor work) announced they will collaborate on the =
industry's first 100% OpenGL 1.2-conformant hardware - accelerated =
graphics subsystem for Linux workstations. The resulting NVIDIA-based =
desktops will be the first to provide hardware 3D transform and =
lighting, hardware 2D and video acceleration, video overlay, =
multi-monitor capability and full native OpenGL conformance under =
Linux.

						

						Physically =
based modeling using OpenGL - examples & source

						01/19/00 Three source code demos =
based on physically based modeling: particle systems, Spring coupled =
particle system to make a deformable sphere, and rigid body dynamics =
simulation of a cube.

						

						GBalls OpenGL =
