Presentation

libQGLViewer is a GPL free software C++ library which lets you quickly start the development of a new 3D application. It is designed for 3D developers, who can display and move around a 3D scene by simply providing the openGL orders that define their 3D geometry. The viewer is designed to be as general as possible and is not designed for a specific 3D application. It provides some useful classical functionalities such as a camera trackball, screenshot saving, mouse manipulated frames, stereo display, keyFrames and more.

libQGLViewer is not a 3D viewer that can be used directly to view 3D scenes in various formats (well, there is a 3dsViewer example, but it is just a proof of concept). It is more likely to be the starting point for the coding of such a viewer.

libQGLViewer is based on the Qt toolkit and hence compiles on any architecture (Unix-Linux, Mac, Windows, ...). Full reference documentation and many example are provided. See the FAQ page for details.
