Hello Stephane,

thanks for your help and comment.
I just wrote an answer to Rick telling that it is more the specifics of the software layout.
I quite like the very clean concepts of Maya.
Thanks for your link to Kigs, which is a really nice framework.
We actually do have a running VR simulation environment simulating complex environments.
The 3D application software architecture ( it's not a modeler ) to supply the data is what I'm curious about.

Thanks for pointing out your framework

Hello Rick,

I'm completely with you regarding your argumentation. We were working in the animation business for a very long time now, having backgrounds as TDs there.
Our task now is to develop a proprietary toolchain which involves handling objects and structures in 3D but is not related to modeling or animation.
I'm more interested in the way to structure such a complex application in a way that is as convenient as Maya and also is written in C++.
Maya has for example a tool concept for handling the input, uses MFn Functions which are kind of visitors to the internal data structures and has in general a very clear API.
I'm just wondering if there are any lessons or books telling how the did that in such a clean way.

Thanks for your help
