Open Source Python 3D Rendering Software for BSD

K-3D is the free (as in freedom) 3d modeling, animation, and rendering system.

GtkGLExt is an OpenGL extension to GTK+. It provides additional GDK objects which support OpenGL rendering in GTK+, and GtkWidget API add-ons to make GTK+ widgets OpenGL-capable.

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/

PyOpenGL is the binding layer between Python and OpenGL.

Crystal Space is an Open Source 3D SDK for Unix, Windows, and MacOS/X. It renders with OpenGL and features GLSL shaders, CG shaders, deferred rendering, dynamic shadows, bullet based physics library, terrain engine, skeleton based animation meshes, exporter for Blender, portals, etc...

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.

UPDATE: Chromium is no longer updated or maintained. The project is frozen. Chromium is a flexible framework for scalable real-time rendering on clusters of workstations, derived from the Stanford WireGL project code base.

This project is not currently being supported but feel free to use it as an example. delta3d is a robust simulation platform built using open standards and open source software. It features full toolchain development supporting a wide variety of free and commercial software.

B-Maxwell add-on offers seamless integration with Maxwell Render and Blender

This project is no longer active. See vpython.org.

The Python Computer Graphics Kit is a collection of Python modules that contain the basic types and functions to be able to create 3D computer graphics images (focusing on Pixar's RenderMan interface).

RIB Mosaic is aimed at providing a complete RenderMan(TM) development environment for Blender. It provides tools for developers to create and distribute artist friendly GUI's that control custom RIB export. This makes it easy to use Blender with any RenderMan(TM) compliant renderer or render specific feature.

V-Ray integration to Blender

KlayGE is an open source, cross-platform game engine with plugin-based architecture. It provides a framework to make game development, testing, porting as simple as possible.

MayaVi is a free, cross platform, easy to use scientific data visualizer. It provides a GUI to ease the visualization process, is written in Python and uses the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) for the graphics.

Free 3D Acropolis is a model 3D in hight resolution of the Acropolis of Athens shortly after its construction.

SOLARIS is a graphic adventure created and developing by Blender. The game takes place in the Solaris space station, as is described in the book "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem and Tarkovsky's film.

Spineless is a generic cross-platform 3D game engine implemented in Python. Focus is on flexibility, clean design and ease of use, not pure speed or bleeding edge graphics.

SPE is a python IDE with auto indentation&completion,call tips,syntax coloring&highlighting,uml viewer,class explorer,source index,todo list,pycrust shell,file browsers,drag&drop,Blender support.Spe ships with wxGlade,PyChecker and Kiki.

PyOSG is a python wrapper for the OpenSceneGraph. Version number corresponds to the version of OpenSceneGraph that PyOSG should work with (e.g. PyOSG 2.8 should work with OpenSceneGraph 2.8.x). Still in early stages, so email mday299 if any problems!

VR Juggler is a virtual platform for virtual reality application development created at the Virtual Reality Applications Center at Iowa State University. Applications developed in VR Juggler can transparently move between a wide range of VR systems.

Dynamically loadable modules for TclTk, Perl, Python to ease the task of building custom 3D modellers and rendering engines.

Yet another ray-tracer. Mixing Python, CUDA and a specialized compact SDL (Scene Description Language).

BURP aims to develop a publicly distributed system for rendering 3D animations over the Internet using CPU idle time.

Python based application to render in background Blender projects (still images or animation). It provides also a server for remote control such as checking the render status or cancel/submit new jobs. Msi available for windows.
