Renderers
- AC3D is easily configured to render images with
external ray tracers. Inivis recommends PovRay from www.povray.org.
For developers
- Description of the AC3D
file format
- AC3D
file loader/viewer source code - C source code for an AC3D
file loader/viewer. Requires Opengl and Glut. Windows exe, VC++ project
files and unix makefile included.
- If you have a simple file format that you want to
visualize in AC3D, it's relatively easy to turn it into an AC3D file
with a script. Scott Nelson wrote this unix
shell-script to convert a file of 3D points (X, Y, Z) into an
AC3D line/polyline
- Andreas Paul wrote a small program that displays a
triangle file (.tri) in OpenGL (or Mesa). You need to have glut
installed to compile this - tri_view.tgz
- Steve Baker wrote a program that parses an AC3D file
and generates C++/OpenGL code that displays the file - see ac2gl.
