pf – sgi OpenGL Performer

sgi offered these library package once for real-time 3D graphics based on their IrisGL, later OpenGL. It provides C++ classes for a scene graph together with some tricks to earn performance for clever data organization & optimization. Target applications were flight simulators and battlefield simulation. Meanwhile, 3D graphics application development has left the research labs towards home entertainment. I believe, sgi changed its business to other high-performance things.

Files

I prepared some property files for OpenGL Performer and MS Visual C++ 2008.

MS Visual C++ 2008 Property File pf-vc90-3.2.2.vsprops...MS Visual C++ 2008 property file for release
MS Visual C++ 2008 Property File pf-vc90-d-3.2.2.vsprops...MS Visual C++ 2008 property file for debugging

The Story Behind

It seems that sgi stopped the development of OpenGL Performer. The last (public) releases appeared in 2006. Nevertheless, we have to maintainance of some software in our company which is based on OpenGL Performer.

Thus, I have to keep OpenGL Performer based code alive (as well as to have an open eye for adequate replacements).
