Basic import, rendering, and interaction with a +3D object can be implemented in just a few lines of code, and programmer +efficiency is greatly increased compared with programming directly with +OpenGL. OpenGL code and Coin code can co-exist in the same application, +which makes gradual migration from OpenGL to Coin possible. + +Coin is fully compatible with SGI Open Inventor 2.1, the de facto standard +for 3D visualization and visual simulation software in the scientific and +engineering community. Additional features in Coin include VRML97 support, +3D sound, 3D textures, and parallel rendering on multiple processors. |
