libQGLViewer is an open source C++ library which enables you to quickly start the
development of a new 3D application. It is designed for 3D developers, who can very
easily display and move around a 3D scene by simply providing the OpenGL orders that
define their 3D geometry. The viewer is designed to be as general as possible and is
not designed for a specific 3D application. It provides some useful classical func-
tionalities such as a camera trackball, screenshot saving, mouse manipulated frames,
stereo display, keyFrames and more.
libQGLViewer is not a 3D viewer that can be used directly to view some 3D scenes in
various formats (there is a 3dsViewer example, but it is just a proof of concept).
It is actually more likely to be the starting point for the coding of such a viewer.
The viewer's main functionalities are :
- A camera trackball to easily move the camera is the scene (explorer
or walkthrough mode). Definition and replay of KeyFrame paths.
- Screenshot saving in different file formats (JPG, PNG, EPS...).
- Handling of local (possibly hierarchical) coordinate systems, that
can be moved with the mouse.
- Extendable displacement constraints that can be applied on the
displacement of those frames.
- FPS and axis display, fast drawing of the scene and many convenient
functions.
- An intuitive default behaviour that can be entirely redefined.
- Stereo display (provided that your machine supports it).
- Many simple examples illustrating the different functionalities and
a complete reference documentation.
