Abstract
Many virtual world applications today represent the cutting edge in real-time 3D interactive graphics. Virtual
world applications must model many complex, often changing, graphical objects. These graphical objects must be
modeled both visually and behaviorly. The performance of most applications of this nature is determined by the
graphics processing capabilities of the hardware used. An efficient, application independent method for describing
and managing graphical objects is essential for rapid prototyping and development of robust virtual world
applications. This thesis presents an efficient, flexible and extensible graphics description system, NPSGDL, used in
virtual world development at the Naval Postgraduate School.
