Performer 2.0 is not yet released. It's supposed to be released very soon
however.
In performer 1.2 a very simple way to simulate FLIR mode was to modify the
color
table of you scene and replace it with shades of grey or green.
Performer 2.0 offers the possibility to index pfGeoStates. This can be used
to simulate FLIR representation. Following is a release note of a Performer 2.0
beta version concerning this:
pfGeoSets can now index their pfGeoStates through a global table
set by pfApplyGStateTable(). pfGSetGStateIndex() sets the value
which is used to index the global table. Indexed pfGeoStates in
conjunction with different pfGeoState tables allow drastically
different appearances of a single database without duplicating
geometry or the scene graph. For example, a visual and infrared
version of a database is easily supported with 2 different
pfGeoState tables.
If you want to do fancier FLIR effects like blurring or persistance you still
have to go directly to gl to implement them. Also if you want to have a
thermal model of your IR scene either static or dynamic then you have to
implement it yourself.
