Python

Vizard scripts are written in Python, one of the world’s most accessible and powerful scripting languages. The Learning Python page has tutorial links for both new and experienced programmers.

Vizard Introduction

If you're familiar with Python but new to Vizard the best place to start is the Getting your feet wet tutorial. You will learn how to add models, animation, user interaction and timer events. Finally, you will see how easy it is to add avatars to the scene.

Vizconnect

The Vizconnect tutorials guide you through connecting to displays, trackers, and much more without programming. Vizconnect's visual interface lets you connect devices on-the-fly, see the results immediately in your Vizard render window, and use the visual interface to troubleshoot thorny hardware issues. Beyond displays and trackers, you'll see that Vizconnect also supports input devices (e.g., game pads), transports (e.g., driving effect), 3D widgets (e.g., grabber), avatars (e.g., inverse kinematics), and still much more.
