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]

Open Scene Graph

The OpenSceneGraph is an open source high performance 3D graphics toolkit, used by application developers in fields such as visual simulation, games, virtual reality, scientific visualization and modelling. Written entirely in Standard C++ and OpenGL it runs on all Windows platforms, OSX, GNU/Linux ... [More] , IRIX, Solaris, HP-Ux, AIX and FreeBSD operating systems. [Less]

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...

BRL-CAD

BRL-CAD is a powerful cross-platform open source combinatorial Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) solid modeling system that includes interactive 3D solid geometry editing, a network-distributed symmetric multiprocessing high-performance ray-tracer, network-distributed framebuffer support, image and ... [More] signal-processing tools, ray-tracing support for rendering and geometric analysis, path-tracing for realistic image synthesis, numerical processing libraries, a system performance analysis benchmark suite, an embedded scripting interface, and a robust high-performance geometric representation and analysis library. BRL-CAD is extensively cross-platform supporting Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, BSD, IRIX, Solaris, and more. BRL-CAD's development heritage of more than 20 years continues to grow. [Less]

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]

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]

Aqsis Renderer

Aqsis is a cross-platform photorealistic 3D rendering solution, adhering to the RenderMan interface standard defined by Pixar Animation Studios. Focusing on stability and production usage, features include constructive solid geometry, depth-of-field, extensible shading engine (DSOs), instancing ... [More] , level-of-detail, motion blur, NURBS, procedural plugins, programmable shading, subdivision surfaces, subpixel displacements and more. [Less]
