WebGL Description
OpenGL ES for Web. WebGL is a cross platform, royalty-free web standard that provides a low-level 3D graphics API based upon OpenGL ES. It is exposed to ECMAScript via HTML5 Canvas. WebGL is a Shader-based API that uses GLSL. Developers who are familiar with OpenGL ES 2.0 can recognize it as a Shader API using GLSL. It has constructs that are semantically identical to the underlying OpenGL ES API. It is very similar to the OpenGL ES specification with some concessions for what developers want from memory-managed languages like JavaScript. WebGL 1.0 exposes OpenGL ES 2.0 features; WebGL 2.0 exposes OpenGL ES 3.0 API. WebGL provides plugin-free 3D for the web. It is integrated directly into the browser. The WebGL Working Group includes major browser vendors Apple (Safari), Google Chrome, Microsoft (Edge), Mozilla (Firefox), and Microsoft (Edge). Google Groups and StackOverflow discussions about developing with WebGL.

Visual Vertex Muster
Muster 9 is our software that provides a simple and powerful way to manage CGI Renderfarms, distributed computing, and other related tasks.
It offers a variety of amazing features, a clean interface, and a lot of customizations. It is easy for wranglers and powerfull for pipeline developers. Muster has an integrated web server engine. It is the heart of our HTTP/Rest APIs. However, it also provides a minimal, intuitive, and user-friendly web based interface to its core functions. Muster, which is built on Bootstrap, is mobile-ready right from the beginning. The responsive, mobile fluid system allows you to control the dispatcher service from your phone, tablet, or web browser. You can manage all aspects of your farm hosts from a clean report. Remote control is possible, so you can shut down and wakeup hosts manually or automatically.

SimLab Composer
The revolutionary visualization and VR creation software. Simlab Soft's mission has been to develop state-of-the-art 3D software that is affordable and fun. SimLab Composer (SLC), was born with the goal of enabling Interactive VR! SimLab Composer (SLC) is not a design program. It is a 3D scene creation application that allows users to import 3D files in different formats, arrange them, adjust materials, and add options, animations and simulation. The user can then use the composed scene in many ways. It can be used to create photo-realistic rendered images or shared as a WebGL, 3D PDF, or VR experience. SimLab Composer interface is organized in workbenches. After selecting a workbench, the tools that have been allocated to that workbench will be displayed. The interface will then change to display the defaults for that workbench.

Guerilla Render
Guerilla Station is composed of Guerilla Render and Guerilla Render. Guerilla is a production-proven look development, assembly, lighting, and rendering solution for animation and VFX. Guerilla can be used on a variety of productions, including Full CG, Hybrid, and VFX, as well as TV Series and Feature Films. It is the State of the Art software. It is easy to use and deploy in your pipeline. It will give you all the flexibility that you need to produce your productions without compromising on performance. The new procedural system now offers 4 levels of depth for instantiation, giving creativity more power. OCIO management is fully supported by looks and input LUTs, color pickinger and color boxes. You can reduce the memory footprint of instances that are composed of multiple objects by using the Group Instance Prims options in the instances procedural. New Asynchronous OpenGL view to prevent UI freezes, and to load geometries while you work.
