>I just got a mail from Prashanth Udupa informing me that a release candidate of VTK Designer 2 has been made available. I’ve tried VTK Designer a few times in the past months. Despite this, each new version surprises me. This application is really cool, both when looking at the technology and visually. More interesting to fellow Qt developers is that the user interface feels really solid, but also provides a whole bunch of quite advanced widgets.
Just looking at the screenshot above, you will see a professional looking expandable tree to the left, a graphics view showing a bunch of interacting objects in the middle and a the top – like it or not – the newest kind of toolbar as introduced in the last incarnation of Office.
Switching tab in the work area reveals the visually pleasing part – a live VTK rendering. The view can be rotated and turned around – live. Apparently, for those of you with a bigger gadget account than me, it also supports haptic input. This means that you can actually feel and prod at objects in your scene. For those of you interested in more than my basic screens – check out the video.
