bison-1.28: description + notes

white_dune is graphical VRML97 editor and animation tool (in development)

VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modelling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the web. It has support for animation, realtime interaction and multimedia (image, movie, sound). VRML97 can be written by popular programs like maya, catia, 3D Studio MAX, cinema4D and others. Dune can read VRML97 files, display and let the user change the scenegraph/fields.
Some documentation how to use dune is included.
Beside some support for the VRML200x style nurbs node, dune has only a few 3D Modelling features. For artistic work, at least the additional usage of a static 3D modeller with VRML97 export features (like wings3d) is recommended.
Dune can load and store x3d (next generation VRML xml format) files, if configured to work with the nist.gov x3d translators.

White_dune is not complete yet, especially in the 3D preview window. But even if you do not see the correct node/fields you can graphically change the values.

Under IRIX, white_dune has support for stereoscopic "toe in" view via "quadbuffer" capable stereo visuals. It has some support for 6DOF inputdevices like Spaceball or Magellan via the Xinput protocol. It has also support for a Ascension Flock of Birds magnetic headtracker (navigation only).
