Open Source Python 3D Modeling Software for Linux

Importer library to import assets from different common 3D file formats such as Collada, Blend, Obj, X, 3DS, LWO, MD5, MD2, MD3, MDL, MS3D and a lot of other formats. The data is stored in an own in-memory data-format, which can be easily processed. www.open3mod.com/ is a 3D model viewer and exporter based on Assimp that is also Open Source.

The Open-Source PyMOL repository has been moved to github: https://github.com/schrodinger/pymol-open-source We still use the pymol-users mailing list here on sourceforge. Please subscribe for community support: https://pymol.org/maillist (Note: SourceForge email newsletter and special offers are optional and can be unchecked) The PyMOL community wiki has its own home: https://pymolwiki.org/

GLE is a library of C functions that draw extruded surfaces, including surfaces of revolution, sweeps, tubes, polycones, polycylinders and helicoids. GLE uses the OpenGL(R) API to perform the actual rendering.

pyFormex is a program for generating, transforming and manipulating large geometrical models of 3D structures by sequences of mathematical operations.

Driver support for 3D Controller Hardware. We hope to support SDL Input, DirectInput, and other major controller API's including game consoles and embedded systems.

BLIX is a cross-platform set of Python extension modules and Python scripts for Blender (www.blender.org). These scripts add camera calibration, 3D reconstruction and rigid body orientation to Blender.

A collection of tools to help in the creation of 3D graphics which are to assist in and improve various areas of the production pipeline in particular the creation and management of very large scale 3D graphics scenes.

A group of Blender (http://www.blender3d.org) enthusiasts sharing code for expanding the functionality of Blender. As Blender has been bought into Open Sourceness, this ancient utility is now ancient and likely useless.

BlueSphere is intended to become a functional 3d modeling tool similar to 3ds max and Maya. BlueSphere is mainly targeted at the modeling part of 3d ... but as development goes by, rendering will most likely also be implemented.

Endo is a simple, powerful 3D modeling program. It is good for making low-poly models for video games, and the like. Future version will provide texturing and rigging support.

Geomatrix, collection of C/C++ libraries to be used for symbolic description of n-dimensional geometric models. Operates internally with a representation that constructs complex objects based on primitives, allowing loss-less modifcation of models.

Labcoat for SuperWikia Alpha fabrication manages new or revised fabrication processes. Its 'Cleanroom' applets allow codesmiths to access the lab environment, used to create semiconductors, substrate prototypes, chipset instruction blocks and other Labcoat projects. Our extensions in future releases will include UML support for C#/C++ conforming projects, import/export architecture schematics and refactoring sub-projects.

Why do Archicad and Revit only share 30 or 40% of the global architectural sofware market ? Maybe because lots of small practices find these software unadapted to the way they work, and to their bank account. I think there's place for an open software that doesn't work like the existing. It will be simple in its tools and processes, and will have infinite capabilities. This will be possible by defining a logical structure. As I am an architect, and I know very little about programming, and wouldn't reach even in 10 years the necessary level to be able to write anything useful for this type of software, my part will be to bring ideas and coherence to this project. If you want to know some more : - go to the blog https://sourceforge.net/p/mollino/blog/ - write me a message ;) I speak french, german, english and italian. Martin Lucas

The Open Descent Foundation (ODF) is a community for developers, who want to help to create open source programs, tools, etc. for the famous games Descent1, -2 or -3. Everyone can join the ODF if he accepts the idea of writing open source programs.

PyGTS is a python package used to construct, manipulate, and perform computations on triangulated surfaces. It is a hand-crafted and pythonic binding for the GNU Triangulated Surface (GTS) Library. THIS PROJECT IS NOT BEING MAINTAINED.

This software can be used for relief and normal maps calculation by 3D sculptors and designers. Reliefer can be called from Blender by means of Python script. It's a GPU-based visual computing application so requres OpenGL 2 compitable video subsystem.

Sculpt Mesh is a 3D tool for sculpting mesh as if it were clay, It provides some of the basic functionality of ZBrush (TM), giving unprecedented artistic freedom, allowing artists to rapidly achieve quality and interesting results with free tools.

Blender3D for the Zaurus! Blender is the open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback. Available for Windows, Linux, Irix, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and soon for the Sharp Zaurus.

pymesh will be a Python interface for Triangle (2D) and Tetgen (3D) mesh generators.

SD-Image for a 3D-Printserver. Hardwarerequirement: UDOO-Quad and RADDS Shield
