Bonjour!

I am looking for information regarding the current state-of-the-art in
3D, interactive, real-time renderers for SGI machines. In particular,
I am interested in renderers that have one or more of the following
capabilities:

  * can utilize "special features" of high-end SGI machines such
	as the SkyWriter or 4D/VGXT

  * can render objects generated by solid modeling software such
	as Swivel 3D

  * "real-time", interactively controlled (i.e., I am not looking for
	a ray-traced 3D animation system)

An example of one such renderer is VPL's ISAAC, which is used to
generate stereo frames for their VR products.

Please send any and all information, comments, etc. to:

		terry@ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov

Many thanks in advance!
