Woof3D: New Crossplatform-3D-API
Woof3D is a shared library for Amiga, Windows95 and Linux x86. It offers a very SIMPLE way to create 3D program in C.

So Woof 3D is a graphic engine mainly a 3D engine for texturing 3D polygons much more like 3D cards. It evolved a lot from its starting in May 2000 and now offers high level and low level functions for 3D and 2D graphics.

Why an other 3D engine ?
  • Cause Woof3D is very SIMPLE to program. You don't need to know anything about the supported OS
  • Cause Woof3D offer true cross platforming with Linux X86, Windows95, AmigaOS 68K versions (one C source for all).
  • Cause Woof3D offer high level functions like direct Vscape or Caligari files handling.
  • Cause Woof3D also offer basic 2D and 3D primitives that allow to program lots of simple graphics softwares like OS-friendly games.
  • Cause beginners in C language don't have to know about pointers or dereferencing to use Woof3D
Supported platforms
  • PC x86 with Windows95 and DirectDraw (2D hardware acceleration)
  • Amiga 68k with AmigaOS 3.0-3.9 and Cybergraphics/Picasso96 (2D hardware acceleration ) or any computer emulating an Amiga the same way (with WinUAE, DosUAE, etc.)
  • Amiga 68k with AmigaOS 3.0-3.9 and a Warp3D 3D card (3D hardware acceleration )
  • PC x86 with Linux and Xwindow (2D hardware acceleration)

The briQ RenderEngine is a 4- or 8-Node-System-variant of the briQ and is focussed on users wanting high performance rendering.

Total mPower is a PCI-based multiprocessor solution for Intel-compatible PCs and Apple Power Macintoshs. Solutions using Total mPower have a range from a single board up to a nearly unlimited number of parallel boards. Four PowerPC G3 (750) or G4 (7400) CPUs operating with 366 to 500 MHz in every board.

Video player: FroggerNG 2.06
It is been a while since last release, wasn't it? Well, problems with working computer on which I could do some developing are gone, so here it is, brand new 2.06 ready for download. What's new? There is now almost 100% acurate A/V sync (also after seeking/pause). There is bunch of new codecs (including a holy graal of video codecs, Sorenson Video 3, thanks to annonymous programmer and ffmpeg team). Also, tons of bugs was removed (which doesn't means it bug free ;). For a complete list of changes please refer to CHANGELOG, included in archives. Remember to get codecs archive as well, most of them were updated, not to mention new ones. Have fun. (ps) (Translation: sk)
