Open Inventor is an object-oriented 3-D toolkit that utilizes Open GL. It introduces an object model to 3-D graphics programmers that dramatically increases productivity and creativity by alleviating the graphics drudgery that is typical in 3D programming. Open Inventor programs can run faster than equivalent Open GL programs because of intelligence and performance built into the Inventor objects. Open Inventor provides support for a variety of geometries, cameras, lights, groups, interactive manipulators, viewers, and editors. The toolkit can be used with C and C++.
