VSG Releases Open Inventor 8.1

By DE Editors

Visualization Sciences Group (VSG) has released Open Inventor 8.1, the new version of its object-oriented 3D graphics development toolkit. Open Inventor 8.1 is now available for C++ and .NET, on Windows and Linux 32-and 64-bit platforms.

According to the company, Open Inventor 8.1 delivers a display rate that is nearly equivalent to graphics hardware. This new release also introduces a dynamic display resolution mechanism, in which rendering effects are progressively applied during interaction, refining image quality on the fly.

Volume masks and real-time shadows are two new features provided by VolumeViz 8.1, while the MeshViz XLM 8.1 extension benefits from more parallelized extraction algorithms and significantly improved performance. ScaleViz 8.1 now takes advantage of multi-GPU configurations, with optimal performance on NVIDIA QuadroPlex systems, using the NVIDIA CompleX engine.
