The third alpha release of version 2 of the Python Computer Graphics Kit is available at http://cgkit.sourceforge.net
What is it? ----------- The Python Computer Graphics Kit is a generic 3D package written in C++ and Python that can be used for a variety of domains such as scientific visualization, photorealistic rendering, Virtual Reality or even games. The package contains a number of generic modules that can be useful for any application that processes 3D data. This includes new types such as vectors, matrices and quaternions. Furthermore, the package can read and store 3D models in memory where they can be manipulated by Python programs. The kit comes with tools that can be used to display the scene either interactively or by rendering it offline via a RenderMan renderer. What's new? ----------- - New polyhedron geometry (made up of general concave polygons that may have holes) - New storage classes FACEVARYING and FACEVERTEX for primitive variables - OBJ import and export (including the material files) - OFF export and improved import - ASF/AMC import - BVH import - an additional maxscript that exports a Biped skeleton and motion into ASF/AMC + several smaller enhancements and bugfixes (see changelog) Windows binary versions are available for Python 2.3 and Python 2.4.
