The exporter is what you would use to take your characters +(built in a 3D modeling package) and create the Cal3D-format files that +the library knows how to load. The exporters are actually plug-ins for +3D modeling packages. This allows 3D artists to use the modeling tools +that they're already comfortable with. + +The C++ library is what you would actually use in your application, +whether it's a game or a VR application. The library provides methods to +load your exported files, build characters, run animations, and access +the data necessary to render them with 3D graphics. + +WWW: http://cal3d.sourceforge.net/ |
