AXIS AXIS is a 3D network accessible rendering engine, useful for building shared virtual environments. The rendering engine uses a simple stack machine interpreter, and processes a language that has similarities to Lisp, Forth, and Adobe's PostScript. The interpreter is multi-threaded, so objects in the 3D environment can have private namespaces. We are working on a programming manual for the language. It is also network-ready; you can talk directly to the rendering engine with a TCP/IP connection. The distribution includes source code for an example Tcl/Tk program which utilizes the network connection (this is the tool we used to position models within the 3D environment).
