Back in 2019 we published some high-level guidance on integrating our SilverLining and Triton libraries with virtual reality applications. Since then, VR has only grown in its prominence in the simulation and training industry, and many of our customers come...

The Triton Ocean SDK is a fairly mature product; there aren’t a whole lot of things people want at this point that it doesn’t already do. But one thing that does come up from time to time is including the...
We continue to work behind the scenes on a Vulkan renderer for our SilverLining 3D Clouds, Sky, and Weather SDK, and it continues to go more smoothly than we hoped for! This week a very important milestone was achieved –...
Our partner SimBlocks LLC have announced SilverLining for Unity! This complements their Triton for Unity offering; together SilverLining and Triton constitute a simulation-grade solution for natural synthetic environments. SilverLining can simulate the sky, clouds, and weather for any time, location,...
Thanks to the fine folks at Pelican Mapping, the built-in integration of osgEarth with our SilverLining and Triton SDK’s are working well once again! osgEarth comes with NodeKits for SilverLining and Triton, and as long as our SilverLining or Triton...
A quick status update on our work to implement a native Vulkan renderer for the SilverLining Sky, 3D Cloud, and Weather SDK! So far we’re pleasantly surprised at how smoothly it is going – we’ve only been at it for...
It’s always been possible to represent just about any cloud type within the SilverLining SDK. Even if the specific type of cloud you want doesn’t have an exact match in our list of types, it’s generally possible to tweak the...
Our partners at SimBlocks LLC have updated their Triton SDK for Unity to support Unity’s Universal Render Pipeline (URP.) This makes Triton compatible with modern Unity-based simulation and training applications built with URP to accelerate development. SimBlocks has wrapped our...
The day has come – a prospective customer has asked us about integrating SilverLining and Triton with VulkanSceneGraph! It’s time for us to get serious about our path to Vulkan support. In the short term, we’d like to remind people...
There are a few common questions we get from new customers, and we find ourselves referring to a few of our past posts that explain them pretty often. If you’re new to SilverLining or Triton, here’s some recommended reading you...
