PDF3D® toolkit includes advanced multi-platform OpenSceneGraph
integration for technical publishing. 

The PDF3D® software development toolkit from Visual Technology Services
includes multi-platform integration for OpenSceneGraph 3.x applications.
Systems using interactive high performance OpenSceneGraph-based
applications can integrate PDF3D (http://www.pdf3d.com), capturing live
models to interactive 3D PDF documents. Sharing and distributing
interactive documents improves collaboration, communication and
effectiveness of distributed teams. These documents let anyone with the
free Adobe® Reader easily rotate, pan, zoom, select parts, review
annotations and play back animation without requiring access to the
original application.

Sequences of files using database loaders are used to create 3D flip-
book movies with playback controls embedded in the PDF page. The PDF3D
export is available as a toolkit for interactive applications, server-
based conversions, or within the PDF3DReportGen desktop application.
Development environments include Microsoft® Windows Visual Studio
2005/2008/2010, Linux and Apple MacOSX®. Assembly part dimensioning
annotations (PMI) and view selection part-level visibility enhance the
technical information content for reporting documentation. Large models
benefit from highly compressed ISO-24517-1:2008 PDF/Engineering PRC
encoding methods and 64-bit support.

The OpenSceneGraph 3.x system (http://www.openscenegraph.org) is an
open-source high performance 3D graphics toolkit, used by application
developers in fields such as visual flight simulation, space, Oil & Gas
exploration, games, virtual reality, scientific visualization and
modeling. Written entirely in C++ & OpenGL, the high-performance design
can handle high frame rates, complex scenes and custom interactions. The
3D graphics database loaders support dozens of common graphics file
formats. With over 2000 users and developers contributing to the
OpenSceneGraph community, it is currently used as the basis for many
commercial and open-source applications. The PDF3D integration with
OpenSceneGraph is currently deployed in a number of commercial
applications.

PDF3D (http://www.pdf3d.com) is by Visual Technology Services Ltd.
