Crystal Space is a free, cross-platform software development kit for realtime 3D graphics.
It supports Windows, Linux, MaxOS/X and more. Though written in C++, other languages like Python can also be used to write programs.
Based on a plugin system it's very modular and extended easily.
3D rendering is done with OpenGL. Features of the latest as well as older hardware are supported seamlessly.

    Google Summer of Code 2008 Accepted

    The Google Summer of Code 2008 students for Crystal Space have been selected. Since we have five mentors we decided for five slots and thanks to Google we also got those slots.

    The following students were accepted:

    Greg Hoffman ... [More] with improvements to lighter2.
    Pavel Krajcevski with Real-Time Rendering of Water Meshes.
    Daniel Duarte Mendes with NavMesh generation and editing tools, Pathfinder& Steering improvements.
    Julian Mautner with Realtime cloud simulation and rendering system.
    Michael Gist with Cross thread communication and multi-threaded loading.

    Congratulations to those students. We hope their contributions will be a success and perhaps they can even remain long-time Crystal Space contributors in the future.

    Of course, selecting those five students means a lot of other students didn't get selected. It is always unfortunate to have to decline very good proposals but that's the nature of the game. We do hope that some of you still decide to work with and for Crystal Space. If you do so then you are warmly invited to work as a volunteer. [Less]

    Apricot Prototype Game

    For people who are not following the Apricot blog yet you probably should. There has been a rather interesting video posted on it which shows the prototype of
    the game so far and also some art that is in production right now. The team is making ... [More] good progress so things are looking good! You can find the blog at this location.

    And btw, you can still pre-order those DVD's :-) [Less]

    Apricot First Workshop

    Last weekend members of the Crystal Space and Blender teams met in Amsterdam at the workshop about the Apricot OpenGame project. Here you can read a full report.

    We still need more presales of the DVD! Now is the time to support
    Crystal Space and Blender. Thanks a lot for your support.

    Apricot Funding Campaign

    Finally it starts! The Apricot team has been selected and is ready to
    make a smashing game using Crystal Space and Blender. In order to support this Apricot project (and support Crystal Space!) you can pre-order the DVD. This is very important ... [More] for us as it gives us the needed funds to make sure the project can go for six months. You can get more information and pre-order information at The Apricot Blog. Thanks for your support!
