Projects

Blender

Blender is a 3D animation and compositing suite with tools for modeling (advanced subdivision modeling, multiresolution sculpting), uv unwrapping, texturing (procedural node, 2D and 3D painting), animation, rendering, particles and simulation (including fluid dynamics, hard body physics, cloth and ... [More] hair), post-production with node based compositing and non linear editing, integrated game engine (with graphical programming, vehicle and rag doll constraints) and python scripting including an import and export suite. Blender runs on all major operating systems including Windows, OS X, Linux and BSD's. It has sculpting similar to ZBrush©, is a full animation suite similar to Maya© or 3DS Max© ; has compositing comparable to Nuke, camera tracking, object tracking and full video editing [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]

Celestia

Celestia is an OpenGL-based 3D space simulation for Unix and Win32 that lets you travel through the solar system, to the stars, and even beyond the galaxy. Visit over 100,000 stars, 100 solar system bodies, and all known extrasolar planets.

Crystal Space 3D

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 ... [More] rendering is done with OpenGL. Features of the latest as well as older hardware are supported seamlessly. [Less]

Irrlicht Engine

The Irrlicht Engine is a high performance real-time 3D engine written and usable in C++, and also available for .NET languages. It is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL, and its own software renderers.

LuxRender

LuxRender is a free software rendering system for photo-realistic and physicaly unbiased image synthesis. It is written in C++ and built around PBRT, providing a flexible ray tracing core and an extensible object-oriented design. Our goal is to extend PBRT into a complete renderer for artistic ... [More] use, including : - Flexible multi-threading of integrators - GUI with real time tonemapping controls, renderer configuration dialogs, etc... - Robust scene file format and API, exporters for Blender and other 3D packages - Speed optimisations with SSE/SIMD implementation - Semi-programmabe shading/materials & GUI material editor(s) - Physical sky/daylight model - etc... [Less]

Axiom 3D

The Axiom Engine Project is a fully object oriented game engine development effort using C# and the Microsoft.Net or Mono platform to create an easy to use, flexible, extendable, and powerful engine that allows for rapid development of games for various genres.

Python-Ogre

Python-Ogre is a high-performance, full-featured Python interface to the Ogre3D graphics library. Python-Ogre currently supports all the functionality of Ogre 1.4, as well as wrappers for over 30 individual libraries: * Bullet, NxOgre (PhysX), ODE, and Newton physics * 4 GUIs, I/O, sound, and a ... [More] lot more! This project is the successor of the original PyOgre project, created by Lakin Wecker in mid-2006. Much development is done on the Windows platform, however today Python-Ogre runs equally well on Linux and Mac OS X. Windows binaries are available, and a Linux package is in the works. If you wish to create a gaming or graphics application in Python, there isn't any else you need apart from Python-Ogre. If there is a library you'd like to have wrapped, let us know! [Less]

Vega Strike

Vega Strike is a cross-platform space flight simulation game. Inspired by the gameplay of classics such as Wing Commander: Privateer, Vega Strike features an open-ended universe in which players can trade, fight, and explore. Players can also take missions, and maintain relations with the three ... [More] races and various factions of the game. Recent development versions include experimental netplay. There are also a number of mod projects in development, including mods for Wing Commander, Star Trek, Elite, and several original universes. [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]
