Unlimited 3D

Just a couple of unpopular thoughts on why Draw Harness is a good tool for testing OCCT.

Sometimes TopoDS_Shape might look pretty fine in the 3D viewer, while actually it does not.

Developers that tried to create a window with an OpenGL context on their own have to pass the color+depth+stencil buffers bitness to methods like eglChooseConfig() / ChoosePixelFormat() / glXChooseFBConfig(), which is most likely a 32-bit RGBA + 24-bit de…

Recently I’ve spent some time on updating my OCCT samples demonstrating OCCT 3D Viewer integration into Qt and GTK frameworks.

Recently, I’ve been pointed to the EGL_ANGLE_create_context_webgl_compatibility extension.

As a developer of CAD software, one cannot underestimate the importance of a wireframe presentation (drawing B-Rep model with topological edges and surface isolines, not triangle boundaries).

Handling file input/output in C++ framework API looks pretty straightforward from the first glance, but becomes more complicated when the developer wants to define custom streams, deal with virtual/remote files systems.

Firefox 134 and Chrome 133 have finally pushed the WASM/Memory64 extension from development builds to stable releases.

It was a long journey started in 2014 with porting sView onto Android platform and taking a first look onto marketplaces for applications.

Recently, I’ve run into a project using the Ninja + Visual Studio compilers combination in CMake Presets.
