This is the first time i touched C++ so don't laugh! The GEMINI Viewer is a very useful and stable viewer. It renders quickly and is set up for high end environments, so if you experience any lag you might want to give it a try. (sorry there are no mac/linux versions yet but maybe later)

I released a preview to a group of selected people but i think this is ready for heavy duty use now. The last release was a little quite slow due to a bad sound library but it's all fixed now and the list of features speaks for itself. It's based on the latest greenlife emerald version, here are only some of my changes:
