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.
