Trender-3DFX and Trender-SDL

 
(July 1999)

Trender-SDL and Trender-3DFX are simplistic realtime renderers of 3D Studio .ASC files.

Trender-SDL needs SDL installed.

Trender-3DFX requires a Voodoo card as well as Glide and SVGALib installed
(I know these cards are obsolete, but I wrote this code around 1995, when it was considered "hip" to write code for 3DFXs. Oh well).

The renderer has 6 modes, which you switch by pressing SPACE:

• Point rendering
• Wire-frame rendering (Wu anti-aliasing)
• Depth wire-frame rendering
• Solid color rendering (flat - no lighting)
• Solid color rendering with lines overlaid
• Gouraud shaded, painter-sorted polygon rendering (move light with 'w')
• Gouraud shaded, Z-buffered polygon rendering (move light with 'w')

Screenshots from Trender-SDL:

• A F1 vehicle in Gouraud shading (23K image)
  
• An aeroplane in anti-aliased line rendering (34K image)
  
• A flat shaded simplistic spaceship (12K image)
  

Downloads:

• Trender SDL 1.04 source code (All SDL supported OS's - Linux, FreeBSD, Win32, BeOS, Solaris).
  
• Trender 3DFX 1.1 source code (Linux and Voodoo cards only!).
  
• Windows demo (compressed with 7-zip) for Trender SDL 1.02. (Thanks, IceHawk!)
