Quesa Description

Free and open source implementation of QuickDraw 3D and OpenGL Quesa is a cross-platform, open-source project to re-implement QD3Dunder the LGPL license. The primary goal is to provide API and binary compatibility with Apple's QD3D 1.6, but at the same time,Quesa has surpassed its predecessor in several ways.Its clean,portable code currently runs on Mac OS 8-9, Mac OS X, Windows, BeOS and Linux. Quesa features an extensible file I/O architecture which enables it to read 3DS and 3DMF files, with other formats easily added.NOTE: Quesa is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License. What's New in This Release: · New OpenGL renderer supporting stencil shadows, more than 8 lights, emissive color attributes, and per-pixel lighting. It uses vertex buffer objects (VBOs), display lists, and triangle strips for speed optimization. · New plug-in for 3DS file format. · New hidden line renderer. · Added support for hardware-accelerated pixmap draw contexts using framebuffer objects (FBOs). · New draw context options to sync drawing to refresh or put the drawing surface behind the window. · New HIQuesaView sample project illustrating use of Quesa in a Carbon custom view. · A single Mac framework that can support both Carbon and Cocoa contexts. · Updates to Cocoa sample project. · Improved support for partial ellipsoids and tori. · New renderer option to indicate whether textures should be assumed to have premultiplied alpha. · Implemented group culling. · Removed obsolete draw region functions. · Added FSRef-based storage objects on the Mac. · Added some utility algorithm sources.
