The Candy package is a collection of tools and nodes for H3D API. While the nodes provided through this package require compilation, there are several components that can be used directly.

The Candy package includes the HVR package. The acronym can stand for "H3D Virtual Reality" or "Haptic Virtual Reality" and this is a package including a few nodes required to set up a Virtual Reality environment (VR) with H3D API. It supports a range of tracking standards and viewpoints suitable for different types of VR systems.

I demonstration of:
* Painting to a texture to create the illusion of cutting
* Implementing a custom surface friction effect similar to cutting with a knife

Please not that this is not an implementation of a cutting algorithm, the geometry of the surface is not changed. It is just a combination of graphic and haptic illusions!

See the wiki entry for instructions and further explanation of the demo.

This is a zip directory containing External libraries for H3D 2.1 and development trunk for use with 64 and 32 bit Windows.

Note that the file also contains new CMake find modules which should be used instead of the old ones if the H3D code is not checked out from latest development trunk.
I am not completely sure that these libraries works perfectly for H3DAPI 2.1 release, development trunk might be required. I will not test this since this should only be a temporary download.

When the next H3DAPI version is released this download will be removed.

H3DViewer 2.1.1 standalone browser for Windows.

This is the H3DViewer browser packaged for Windows without any source code. It can be used to view X3D files with or without H3D (haptics) content.

The package also contains several plugins. These are:
RigidBodyPhysics - Used when handling files containing features of the RigidBodyPhysics component of the X3D specification.
MedX3D - Used when handling files containing features of the upcoming MedX3D component of the X3D specification.
UI - Used to build haptic 3D user interface in H3D API scenes.
VHTK - To handle features of the Volume Haptics Toolkit which was developed during a research project aiming at bringing haptics into volume data exploration interfaces and the volume data understanding process. Not developed by SenseGraphics.

The code for H3DViewer and its plugins are all downloadable from the downloads section.

Changes for version 2.1.1:
- Added clear button to console dialog.
- Added reload menu and some keyboard shortcuts.

HAPI is a haptics rendering C++ library from the makers of H3DAPI. It is the library used by H3DAPI 2.1.1 but can be used separately. HAPI documentation is avaliable at the documentation page.

HAPI should be used when developing haptics applications (when H3DAPI is not desired). It is a modular library and is easily customized to the developers requirements.

The H3DAPI 2.1.1 package for Windows is bundled with HAPI which means that this distribution is usually not needed for users of H3DAPI.

HAPI 1.1.1 contains fixes for bugs discovered in HAPI 1.1.
Changes for version 1.1.1:
- CMake support for OpenHaptics 3.0.
- Memory leak fixes.
- Various bug fixes in the renderers.
- Updates to compile for Visual Studio 2010 and gcc 3.1.1.
- PhantomHapticsDevice now reports usable work space in meters.
- CMake build updates. Variables that points to include directories and
libraries are now grouped together for each external library.
