We are glad to present our first HW Render implementation of our .NET AltSketch Graphics Library. We decided to release firstly our Irrlicht HW Render Backend via Irrlicht Lime.
AltSketch Description:
AltSketch is a pure C# CLS compliant 100% managed, without unsafe blocks Vector Graphics Library for Games, Scientific Applications and other uses of Computer Graphics for MS .NET / Mono.
It has Software and Hardware Render Backends, contains a subsystem AltNETType - port of wonderful font rendering library Freetype and subsystem AltNETImage for Image manipulations (loading, saving, transformations).
AltSketch has Virtual File System support with Zip containers for resources loading. All AltSketch functionality & extensions works via VirtualFS and all resources can be loaded as from real file system, so from Zip containers (from files or memory streams).
AltSketch SDK includes wide variety of open source extensions: ported to AltSketch popular libraries (GUI, Plot, GIS, Computer Science, Graphics etc.).
As AltSketch has several integrations with most popular GUI systems and Mobile platforms, you can develop and test drawing part of your 3D application/game (now you can draw Graphics in 3D with Brushes and Pens like you do it with any drawing library) as independent program, and then easy integrate it into your main solution. It is flexible and useful development method in case of main project bulking and test complexity or useful for team development process. Now you can develop graphics part of your Mobile applications without using an emulator as stand-alone application, only running on Mobile devices (or Emulator) for final tests.
Licensing: Free for No Commercial Uses
AltSketch Demo contains examples of AltSketch in different ways of uses:
- Full Workspace Render
- Render in Irrlicht GUI (with custom GUI element)
- ExtBrush - geometry fillings with special Irrlicht materials (look it in "Graphics" section)
- Clipped RenderBox Demo (look it in "Irrlicht" section)
- HW Render to Texture
- Software Render to 2D Texture
- Some combinations of all uses, many interesting AltSketch examples, etc.
Only fist application start may take some seconds because AltSketchDemo finding system fonts. This information cached and next starts became more faster
