AVS - Advanced Visual Systems

cf. International AVS Centre에 가면 유용한 정보를 많이 얻을 수 있다. ||

EnSight - CEI

FAST - NASA Ames Research Center	Moffett Field, CA. FAST is a software toolkit for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) rendering. You can do particle calculations and then image them. FAST is divided into discrete command modules which can be accessed by a simple GUI. FAST is free.
IDL - Research Systems	Boulder, Colorado. IDL is a general purpose visualization package with command line roots. It has a somewhat better interface than AVS's but the GUI still operates like an afterthought so get ready to program if you want to use IDL. The big difference between using IDL and something like AVS is that in AVS you generally write your program in C or Fortan and only use "V" to do interfacing activities to the engine. In IDL there is more of an assumption that you will write everything in Interactive Data Language, although it does have support for externally written libraries of course. This is both a blessing and a curse. On one hand it is a sophisticated scripting language (some schools offer whole courses in IDL) and after 25 years of debugging it works well. The downside is now you are writing programs in a language designed in the 1970s that can only be used in one program--IDL. From a technical point of view IDL's great strength is its domain support for earth science and astronomy. IDL has many advanced support functions to do physical science calculations and data manipulations especially in the field of remote sensing. For this reason many astronomers, space scientists and earth scientists use IDL.
Maya - Alias	Toronto, CANADA. I wrote a little about Maya yesterday. Alias originally specialized in the mathematics of spline curves used in industrial graphical design. In 1995 SGI bought Alias and a similar company, Wavefront, and merged them. Wavefront was known for high-quality surface renderings for CAD/CAM data. Today their product Maya ($7000) is the gold standard in three-dimensional rendering. It has a scripting language called MEL and can be hooked for live data feeds. This allows for real-time rendering of scientific data.
