PHIGS is an API standard for rendering 3D computer graphics. During the 1990's OpenGL became a more popular 3D API for professionals, and it still is today. PHIGS remains to be widely used in the film industry. Open PHIGS uses OpenGL for rendering graphics rather than implementing it's own abstraction layer to the graphics hardware, or using the PHIGS Extension to X (PEX). The reason for doing so is that today every graphics card manufacturer provides their own OpenGL implementation,...

A tool for visualizing regular polytopes in stereographic projection. Capabilities include: a large database of Coxeter polytopes, 6-axis motion control, animation, fly-though, stereo viewing, high-res capture, depth-blur, and many style options.

Take a 2D flat photo... and turn it into a w3D "wiggle stereogram"! INSTANTLY! Wiggle stereograms use animation to switch between the left and right view of a stereogram. Here we create a nice animation that slides back and forth, for a smooth wiggle 3D ("w3D") effect. First the image is broken down into planes. Each plane is given a depth distance. The image belonging to each plane is horizontally compressed enough that the "shadows" cast by the image belonging to the planes in...
