Coin3D-simageis an image library for Coin3D, a high-level, retained-mode toolkit for effective 3D graphics development.
Coin3D-simage is Free Software, published under the BSD 3-clause license.
From 1998 to 2011 Coin3D was developed and maintained by Systems in Motion (SIM), later renamed to Kongsberg SIM, later merged into the parent company Kongsberg Oil & Gas Technologies (Kongsberg). During this period Coin3D was available under a dual licensing scheme, offering the choice between GPL or a Professional Edition License. Mid-2011, Kongsberg decided to end Coin3D as a commercial product due to diminishing demand and changing business focus. As a service to the user community Kongsberg re-licensed Coin3D under the BSD 3-clause license.
The old web site www.coin3d.org has been shut down, and all requests are redirected to the Bitbucket web site.
This project was created to provide a working version of simage that is compatible with the Wizzer Works Magic Lantern project. The Bitbucket source is currently broken and is not being maintained in a timely fashion.
This version of simage should work independently of Magic Lantern and may be used for projects that are not related to the Wizzer Works technology.
Coin3D-simage is built using Linux/Unix Autoconf tools. It is maintained and tested on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit platform, although it should build for other Linux distributons.
