My team is considering using libcinder for a (cross-platform) professional desktop application, where user interaction will be mostly with the 3d scene.
I was wondering if anyone has done something like that before, or if anyone here thinks it’s not a good idea.
Well, take a look at this gallery and you’ll see that Cinder has been used in hundreds of professional productions.
If you’re asking if it’s possible to create 3D tools like Maya, Blender or Cinema4D using Cinder, then the answer is also yes. Cinder provides lots and lots of classes and libraries that will get you up to speed in no time. Whether or not it’s the best approach, really depends on your goals.
