Open Flipper
OpenFlipper is an OpenSource multi-platform application and programming framework designed for processing, modeling and rendering of geometric data. Currently supported platforms are Windows, MacOS X and Linux. Using OpenMesh a variety of file formats are supported ( off, obj, ply, ... ).
Additionally OpenFlipper provides a highly flexible interface for creating and testing own geometry processing algorithms. A powerfull scripting language can be used to access all parts of OpenFlipper and modify geometry or the user interface at runtime.
For more information about OpenFlipper and its features take a look at the Introduction page.

OpenFlipper-4.0 This major release contains a large number of updates and might break some previous plugins. The updated rendering infrastructure now supports OpenGL core profiles. Furthermore a new python scripting environment has been integrated that will replace the old QtScript system in the future. Several components of the build system have been updated to speed up configuration and build of OpenFlipper. We also integrated glew directly into the source and removed glut completely to simplify the build process. Therefore we now only depend on Qt to build OpenFlipper. There is also a large set of updates to the plugins. For detail, please refer to the Changelog. |
