OpenGL from Template Graphics Software

The Standard in Graphics Tools

OpenGL - Accelerated to Hardware (Sun, Apple, Microsoft Windows 3.1)

TGS is providing OpenGL direct to Sun SPARC Solaris 2.x acceleration hardware. This differs from other software-only products in that it avoids the additional XGL software layer. The result is a fast performing and fully functional OpenGL for Sun workstations and clone systems. (OpenGL for Solaris from TGS was recently selected by Aries Research as the OpenGL to be sold with their SPARC systems.)

OpenGL for Solaris from TGS supports the ZX, GX, GX+, TGX, TGX+ graphics boards and can render in software if a graphics board is not installed on your system. TGS also supports the GLX server extension on Solaris. OpenGL for Solaris from TGS is available today in beta.

TGS will also be providing OpenGL for Apple Power Macintosh in early 1995, with a software-rendering and graphics acceleration version. TGS is working with 3D chip/board vendors to deliver accelerated OpenGL for the Power Mac platform.

TGS is now providing OpenGL for Windows 3.1, direct to GDI, to ISV and OEM customers. OpenGL for Windows 3.1 is fully portable with the OpenGL for Windows NT 3.5 provided by Microsoft, including the WGL component.

Open Inventor - C++ 3D Graphics Toolkit

TGS will be a single-stop solution for Open Inventor on UNIX and PC systems. TGS is currently shipping Open Inventor for IBM AIX and Sun Solaris, and will support DEC (1Q95) and HP (1-2Q95) UNIX systems as well. TGS will deliver Open Inventor for Visual C++/MFC beginning in 1Q95, and will support MS-Visual C++ on Windows 3.1, Windows NT, Windows 95 and the new MS-Visual C++ Apple cross-compiler. Contact TGS for further information on these products as well as other Open Inventor ports.
