As intuitiv'3d provides all the necessary >basic features (drag and drop interface, 3d primitives, hierarchy >browser, cameras, shaders, lights, user extensible library, test >and final rendering...) one can rapidly concentrate and experiment >custom development in 3d. Q -- WHAT CAN I DO WITH intuitiv'3d API? >The intuitiv'3d API can be used to create 3d modelling systems, >complex automated shaders and lights, 3d groups with inspectors >and more! As an example, intuitiv'3d main modules (the Modeler >and the Mathematica Data Link) were written with the API. >intuitiv'3d supports the advanced concept of pre-rendering. Any >object developed with the API automatically inherits the >shadow-mapping, surface-mapping and environmental-mapping capabilities >of intuitiv'3d. >intuitiv'3d API is composed of the necessary documentation to >write a new module, example source code for two intuitiv'3d modules, >Objective-C headers to compile new classes, template files so that >you won't have to begin from scratch everytime you write a new >module. The API also includes extra intuitiv'3d objects. Q -- HOW CAN I GET intuitiv'3d and intuitiv'3d's API? >Cub'x Systemes offers academic institutions and students a special >pricing policy allowing them to access today the highest quality >3d environment for NEXTSTEP. Students who ftp the package and >submit proof of current student status can purchase intuitiv'3d >+ Modeler & Mathematica modules at $150. The API is free. intuitiv'3d educational bundle and API can be downloaded from archive site cs.orst.edu (/pub/next/submissions or /pub/next/binaries/Graphics). >"We are very interested by your work with intuitiv'3d's API," said >Gerard Laurent, General Manager . "A dedicated e-mail address >(intuitiv_api@cubx.com) has been created to allow you to speak >with us about your projects. You can also submit technical questions >about intuitiv'3d's API to this address. Keep in mind that Cub'x >Systemes could be interested in the commercialization of your >project." >Cub'x Systemes, Paris, France, develops highly efficient solutions >for NEXTSTEP.
