This is a great plugin to have if you make games in REALbasic.
Quesa is a high-level, Open Source, 3D graphics library that offers binary and source level compatibility with Apple’s QuickDraw™ 3D API. Quesa does not contain any Apple source code, and was developed without access to Apple’s QD3D implementation.
Quesa supports both retained and immediate mode rendering, an extensible file format, plug-in renderers, a wide range of high level geometries, hierarchical models, and a consistent and object-orientated API.
Quesa acts as a scene-graph while using OpenGL for rendering. In principle it could be adapted to use a different low-level rendering engine such as Direct 3D.
