Graphics software
The systems called S-Graphics and S-Animation by Symbolics were
acquired by Nichimen and renamed N-Graphics. They are still in use
and development, running on Lisp on Symbolics but more usually on SG
or high end PC hardware.
(NB: some of the following is becoming dated)
3D graphics animation system (S-Animation) includes
subsystems:
- S-Paintamation
- S-Paint (paint system)
- S-Geometry (3D polygonal modeler)
- S-Dynamics (scripting)
- S-Render (inc rendering to LM and SG farms)
- S-Convert
- S-Record
- S-Utilities
- S-Convert
- S-Composer
- bitstream fonts
- etc.

Note: S-Graphics is the precursor to Nichimen N-Graphics
Nichimen Graphics has moved its development on from S-Graphics
general 3D interactive market to address markets such as arcade,
console, computer and on-line games, and 3D Web and virtual-reality
applications.
