Edit

Agar is a toolkit for graphical applications. It is not a large monolithic library that will take over your application, instead it provides a set of components organized into compact and integration-friendly libraries implementing specific features. The libraries are stable, well-maintained and in constant development since 2002. Agar is highly portable and is being used under many different platforms.

Features

General Features

Object-Oriented Design:

•	Abstraction of the rendering API. Currently only OpenGL is supported.
•	An efficient representation of polyhedral models using a modified halfedge method.
•	Hierarchical structures allowing efficient view-frustum culling for both indoor and outdoor environments as well as physics calculations.
•	Ideal object representations such as smooth surfaces (with suitable polygonal approximations always available for query).
•	The ability to query geometrical information efficiently at any time. The Agar-SG project is focused solely on geometry and graphics. It does not implement any type of logic system or physical simulation, although its structures were designed to accomodate common physics algorithms.

Lighting

Lightmapping:

•	Light maps.

Texturing

Bumpmapping:

•	HDR (High Dynamic Range) texture support.
•	Bump mapping.
•	Parallax mapping.

Animation

Skeletal Animation:

•	Skeletal animation with vertex shader support.

Special Effects

Particle System, Water:

•	Various effects such as water and particle systems.

Rendering

Render-to-Texture:

•	Render-to-texture support.
