Features

ST3D™ is a Smalltalk-based toolkit for creating 3D applications such as games, simulations and modelers.

ST3D includes:

  • Support for immediate mode rendering of graphic primitives (points, lines, polygons) and effects (e.g., textures and fog) using OpenGL.
     
  • Scene graph support (i.e., retained mode rendering).
     
  • ST3D Geometry Editor and ST3D Part Editor for creating 3D models and landscapes.
     
  • 3ds max support (import geometry and materials).
     
  • Support for BMP, TGA, JPG and GIF image file formats.
     
  • Joystick and keyboard support via DirectX DirectInput.
     
  • Support for sound effects (.WAV) and music playback (MIDI and MP3).
     
  • Frameworks and services for building custom 3D model editors and interactive editor tools.
     
  • Game, animation and editor examples (including "CoolPool" and "Lander").
     
  • OpenGL-enabled workspace for interactive execution of OpenGL commands.
     
  • All source code is provided.


For information on application development using ST3D, see the online Developer's Guide.


Hardware and Software Requirements

  • Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/XP
  • Display adapter with full OpenGL Installable Client Driver (ICD) supporting hardware acceleration within a window (ATI 8XXX and 9XXX series adapters and adapters based on NVIDIA TNT, TNT2, GeForce graphics processors satisfy this requirement).
  • Display color depth of 16 bits or greater
  • Sound card
  • DirectX Version 7 (for DirectSound and DirectInput)

Supported Display Adapters:

  • Display adapters based on the NVIDIA TNT, TNT2 and GeForce graphics processors and ATI 8XXX and 9XXX series adapters.

Display adapters known NOT to work with ST3D:

  • ATI Rage, Radeon, and 7XXX series display adapters.
  • Adapters based on the Nvidia Riva 128 graphics chip (color dithering problem).
  • Adapters based on the 3Dfx Voodoo2 graphics chip (does not support acceleration in a window).
