Mesh viewer description
An easy to use lightweight application for displaying three dimensional models (triangular meshes) from a variety of file format Mesh viewer uses OpenGL to render the models.

Mesh viewer was born under the need for quickly displaying reconstructed triangulated meshes. The current version has been developed by Helmut Cantzler and a number of various contributors. The Mesh viewer is based on an idea and an early elementary implementation from Craig Robertson.

Triangular meshes can be displayed texture mapped (optional with bilinear filtering), solid or as a wire frame (all lines or just the front lines). The surface normals of the triangles can be displayed optionally.

Loaded models can be rotated, translated and scaled (all done with the mouse). The model is lighted by multiple light sources. Viewpoints can be saved.

Screenshots of the model can be taken. The program is able to calculate the texture map for the 3D model.

Mesh viewer supports the following 3D file formats:
· PMesh forma (used at the Vision group of the University of Edinburgh)
· GTS format (from the Gnu Triangulation Library)
· Geomview format (only format "OFF" or "COFF")
· PLY format (only ASCII format)
· VRML 1.0 format
· VRML 2.0 format (VRML97)
· Visualisation Toolkit VTK format (ASCII POLYDATA only)
· Alias Wavefront / Java 3D OBJ format (ASCII polygon data only).

Requirements:

· Mesh viewer requires a 3-button mouse (or emulation) in order to rotate (left button), translate (middle button) and zoom (right button) the model.
· It is recommended to use a 3D acceleration graphics card for displaying models. This is specially important for displaying models with texture.
· Mesh viewer requires an OpenGL library and a GUI library for displaying and interacting with the OpenGL module. (the Qt 3 library is included in the package)

DXTViewer description
DXTViewer is a compressed texture viewer. DXTViewer is a compressed texture viewer. It will let you easily visualize DirectDrawSurface file (*.DDS) and can save all usual formats (*.bmp, *.jpg, *.tga, ...) into DirectDrawSurface DDS or oZone3D O3TC compressed format.
O3TC format can be used in Hyperion demos.

DXTViewer is a compressed texture viewer. These textures, mainly in DDS format (Direct Draw Surface), are commonly used in realtime 3D applications.

Compressed textures leads to increased procurement efficiency, due to two major improvements which are: less diskspace and video memory consumption and direct loading into the graphics video memory (no transformation stage required) texture loading is dramatically increased even for high resolution images (4096x2048 for instance).

DXTViewer handles the following S3TC compression formats: DXT1, DXT3, DXT5 and ATIs 3Dc.

Furthermore, DXTViewer allows to load usual image formats such as JPG, BMP, TGA, PNG or GIF. These files can be converted in compressed textures in DDS (Direct Draw Surface) or O3TC (oZone3D texture Compression) formats. The O3TC format has the same features than DDS (S3TC DXT1,DXT5 and ATI 3Dc), is really simple to load and is not Y-reversed like the DDS

Here are some key features of "DXTViewer":

· Use of OpenGL for texture rendering
· (GL_EXT_texture_compression_s3tc / GL_ATI_texture_compression_3dc extensions)
· Loading of *.DDS (DXT1, DXT3, DXT5 and ATI 3Dc ) format
· Loading of *.O3TC (DXT1, DXT5 and ATI 3Dc) format
· Loading of *.JPG, *.BMP, *.TGA, *.PNG, *.GIF, *.TIF, *.PSD formats
· texture Saving in *.DDS (Direct Draw Surface) and *.O3TC (oZone3D texture Compression) with DXT1, DXT5 compression.
· Normal-map compression: export in Swizzled-DXT5 or ATIs 3Dc compression
· Very fast texture paning and zooming


Requirements:

· Processor: Pentium III or AMD Athlon and up processor - 800 MHz and up.
· Memory: 256M RAM or higher
· Graphics Controller: ATI Radeon 9500 and up (with the latest Catalyst drivers) or GeForce FX 5200 and up (with the latest Forceware drivers)

GPU Caps viewer description
An OpenGL graphics card utility for windows (32-bits). GPU Caps viewer is a free and highly-featured tool that quickly describes the essential capabilities of your graphics card/GPU including GPU type, amount of VRAM , OpenGL API support level, OpenGL API extensions database and general system configuration, as well as a GPU-Stress-Test functionality (GPU-Burner).

Here are some key features of "GPU Caps Viewer":

· quick view of the graphics configuration (graphics card / GPU type, amount of video memory, drivers version)
· display of the main OpenGL capabilities (OpenGL version, texture size, number of texture units, etc.)

For each extension, you can open its description webpage available at the OpenGL Extension Registry or at NVIDIAs OpenGL Extensions spec. Very handy for graphics developers!
· display of the system configuration: CPU type and speed, amount of systeme memory, operating system
· GPU Burner: allows to make the GPU temperature climb in order to test the graphics card stability. You can actually open as many 3D views as you want in order to make your graphics card working to the maximum. For NVIDIA cards, the GPU temperature is also displayed.
· list of links related to your graphics card: graphics drivers and graphics cards reviews. These links are regularly updated.
· full report in text and XML format. This kind of report is useful for developers who needs an outline of the customer graphics system (for support purposes for example).
