Highlights of the Year

Three software platforms based on our research were released as open-source distributions in 2015. These platforms contain the result of several years of research, and have been supported by Inria through engineering support:

• Gratin , a node-based compositing software for creating, manipulating and animating 2D and 3D data. It uses an internal direct acyclic multi-graph and provides an intuitive user interface that allows to quickly design complex prototypes.

• Proland , a platform for real-time quality rendering and editing of large landscapes. All features can work with planet-sized terrains, for all viewpoints from ground to space.

• Gigavoxel , a software platform for real-time quality rendering of very large and very detailed scenes which couldn't fit memory. Performances permit showing details over deep zooms and walk through very crowded scenes (which are rigid, for the moment).
