FastCut 2 RT video editor uses the OpenGL API
Category: Applications •
Jun 28, 2006
FastCut is a video editor for Mac OS X. The v2 RT-Engine is based on OpenGL to benefit from hardware acceleration. Once video frames are uploaded to the video memory of a graphics card, they are manipulated in real-time on a pixel-per-pixel basis by CoreImage and used as textures on geometric objects in a 3D OpenGL world.
STDK v1.1.0 uses OpenGL API on Windows and Mac OS X and OpenGL ES API on embeded terminals
Category: Applications •
Jun 28, 2006
The STDK is a multimedia applications creation software, specially designed for games. Every application created with the STDK can run on many platforms, inside or outside a web browser. The standalone and web players use OpenGL API for hardware accelerated rendering on Windows and Mac OS X, and OpenGL ES API for embeded terminals, like PDAs and mobile phones. The new v1.1.0 adds a simplified AI system and bugfixes.

LightWorks is an advanced photorealistic rendering solution using the OpenGL API for all types of market and applications. The new v7.6, adds “Final Gather” to calculate lighting automatically, an enhanced development framework for integration into other applications, new shaders, and support for Microsoft Visual C++ version 8, 64-bit Windows on Intel/AMD, and Universal Binary on Mac OS.
OpenGL API-based Amazing Curves Racing beta 1.02 public game server online
Category: Applications •
Jun 26, 2006
Amazing Curves Racing renders real-time tessellated curved surfaces using the OpenGL API and computes physics interaction directly on the curved surfaces. Rendered surfaces are smooth with no visible triangles. Driving on curved surfaces is very smooth; bumpiness is added using cubic displacement maps where needed. Polygon-physics discontinuities are not present. Network play and physics interaction is lag-free for typical internet connections and scales gracefully to higher pings (300ms and higher). A public game server has been set up for online beta testing. The game will run on any OpenGL API-based hardware, Pentium-M 1.7 or P4 2.8 class CPU, 512MB or higher recommended.
BS Off-Screen Library uses the OpenGL API for massive real-time calculations in X3D visualization
Category: Developers •
Jun 26, 2006
The BS Off-Screen Library consists of a set of OpenGL classes in C++ source code that interface directly to GPU for computational intensive and costly calculations such as matching algorithms. The results of these computations can then be handed to the rendering pipeline of BS Contact VRML/X3D for visualization. This saves time during the rendering and display phase as many calculations can be done in parallel on the graphics cards GPU and on the CPU of the computer.
