The Visualization Sciences Group (VSG) has just announced availability of the OpenInventor 8.1 C++ and .NET applications for Windows and Linux. This means new versions of VolumeViz, MeshViz, and ScaleViz with several optimizations and new features. A few interesting ones:
- VolumeViz8.1 and OpenInventor now support ‘progressive display quality’. The advanced rendering effects are progressively applied during interaction, refining image quality on the fly, without sacrificing interactivity
- Real-Time Shadows in Volume Viz
- Support for multi-GPU systems in ScaleViz, like the NVidia QuadroPlex, via the CompleX Engine
And much more. You can read the full ‘What’s New?” PDF (Google Viewer) for all the details.
