i'll try again, the below is from the InventorMentor examples of openInvetor.
Renderman(rib) is similar in that it is an extention to C++. there are
examples of both online. do a google search for "renderman companion" or
"inventor mentor".
#include <Inventor/Xt/SoXt.h>
#include <Inventor/Xt/viewers/SoXtExaminerViewer.h>
#include <Inventor/nodes/SoCone.h>
#include <Inventor/nodes/SoDirectionalLight.h>
#include <Inventor/nodes/SoMaterial.h>
#include <Inventor/nodes/SoPerspectiveCamera.h>
#include <Inventor/nodes/SoSeparator.h>
main(int , char **argv)
{
// Initialize Inventor. This returns a main indow to use.
// If unsuccessfull, exit.
Widget myWindow = SoXt::init(argv[0]); //pass the app name
if (myWindow == NULL) exit(1);
//Make a scene containing a red cone
SoSeparator *root = new SoSeparator;
root->ref();
SoMaterial *myMaterial = new SoMaterial;
myMaterial->diffuseColor.setValue(1.0, 0.0, 0.0); // Red
root->addChild(myMaterial);
root->addChild(new SoCone);
//setup viewer
SoXtExaminerViewer *myViewer = new SoXtExaminerViewer(myWindow);
myViewer->setSceneGraph(root);
myViewer->setTitle("Examiner Viewer");
myViewer->show();
SoXt::show(myWindow); //display main window
SoXt::mainLoop(); //main inventor event loop

Oh i've slipped the surly bonds of DOS
and danced the skies on Linux silvered wings.
