Virtual Choreographer (VirChor) is an open source real time 3D engine that relies on an XML-based definition of 3D scenes with graphic and sonic components. VirChor is well-documented and offers facilities such as high dimension particle systems through GPGPU, MPEG4 facial and skeletal character animation, vertex and pixel shader support, audio source localization, and collision detection.
VirChor runs on Windows, Mac OS/X, and Linux and uses OpenGL for interactive rendering, and POVray or Renderman for off-line rendering. Sound computation is designed for communication through OSC protocole with PureData or Max/MSP.
VirChor has been placed under the Gnu Library General Public License. It is developped at LIMSI/CNRS and University Paris 11 and is hosted by SourceForge.
