Projects

Simple DirectMedia Layer

A cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D video framebuffer. SDL supports Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX. The code ... [More] contains unofficial support for AmigaOS, Dreamcast, Atari, AIX, OSF/Tru64, RISC OS, SymbianOS, and OS/2. SDL is written in C, but works with C++ natively, and has bindings to several other languages, including Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, Smalltalk, and Tcl.

Compiz

Compiz is a compositing window manager that uses 3D graphics acceleration via OpenGL. It provides various new graphical effects and features on any desktop environment, including Gnome and KDE. (Short version: Wobbly windows and stuff)

Mesa

Mesa is an open-source implementation of the OpenGL specification - a system for rendering interactive 3D graphics. A variety of device drivers allows Mesa to be used in many different environments ranging from software emulation to complete hardware acceleration for modern GPUs. Mesa ties ... [More] into several other open-source projects: the Direct Rendering Infrastructure and X.org to provide OpenGL support to users of X on Linux, FreeBSD and other operating systems. [Less]

OGRE

OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) is a scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine written in C++ designed to make it easier and more intuitive for developers to produce applications utilizing hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. The class library abstracts all the details of using the underlying ... [More] system libraries like Direct3D and OpenGL and provides an interface based on world objects. [Less]

Pygame

Pygame is a set of Python modules designed for writing games. It is written on top of the excellent SDL library. This allows you to create fully featured games and multimedia programs in the python language. Pygame is highly portable and runs on nearly every platform and operating system.

OpenTK

The Open Toolkit (OpenTK) is a free, fast, cross-platform C# wrapper for OpenGL, OpenGL ES, OpenAL and OpenCL. The bindings are strongly-typed and contain inline documentation for improved security and coding speed. Additional utilities integrate the bindings with .Net, making OpenTK especially ... [More] suited to Rapid Application Development. OpenTK can be used alone or integrated into GUI toolkits, like Windows.Forms and GTK#. It runs on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X without recompilation, is easy to deploy and is compatible with all .Net languages: C#, VB.Net, C++/CLI, F#, IronPython, Boo, ... [Less]

Xith3D

The Xith3d project consists of powerful middleware consisting of a scenegraph and an extensible renderer. The goal is to create a lean and performative scenegraph and renderer while at the same time allowing for extensions and enchancements to all stages of the rendering pipeline. You can think of ... [More] it as a 3D engine. It allows to create games, or any application requiring a 3D visualization. It's versatile, usable with JOGL or LWJGL, embeddable in AWT, Swing, SWT (Eclipse). It has support for physics engine (JOODE), and many development facilities. It's fast and easy-to-use. [Less]

Ardor3D

Ardor3D is a professionally oriented, Java based 3D graphics engine.

Equalizer - Parallel Rendering

Equalizer is an open source programming interface and resource management system for scalable OpenGL applications. An Equalizer application can run unmodified on any visualization system, from a singlepipe workstation to large scale graphics clusters and multi-GPU workstations. Equalizer is built ... [More] upon a parallel OpenGL-based programming interface solving problems that are common to any multipipe application. The API is minimally invasive, making application porting as easy as possible while delivering maximum performance. [Less]

MD5 Reader 2

MD5 Reader 2 is an extension for jMonkey Engine to load 3D animated models from MD5 format (Doom 3 format). Current active contributors are: ender_saka (Marco Frisan, the project founder), Duodecimo Fernandes and gathers (Öyvind Johannessen). The project was based on the original code from ... [More] ChaosDeathFish (Gareth Jenkins-Jones). While the original code is still maintained, we are moving to a rewrite. [Less]
