Open Source Graphics Engine :: Raydium - CQFD Corp OpenGL 3D engine

Raydium - CQFD Corp OpenGL 3D engine Well, first of all, let me talk about Raydium goals: this project aims to be simple, easy to use, portable, and quite fast. Raydium is a C written abstract layer, on top of OpenGL, GLU and GLUT: this means you can write an entire 3D application without calling any OpenGL function. Want to draw an object ? call the suitable Raydium function, and all textures and vertices will be loaded, and your object drawn. Want to make an explosion ? Same thing: call the right function. Note that you can call OpenGL functions anyway, if necessary.

About portability, I can say a few things: Raydium was initially planned for GNU/Linux only, but with an ``clean'' (nearly ANSI) code, and, in facts, we have been able to compile Raydium under VC6 (Windows ) with a very few modifications. So you can expect a correct result on any system providing OpenGL (at least 1.1), GLU, GLUT and a C compiler.
