Open Source C++ 3D Rendering Software for BSD

VirtualGL redirects 3D commands from a Unix/Linux OpenGL application onto a server-side GPU and converts the rendered 3D images into a video stream with which remote clients can interact to view and control the 3D application in real time.

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

Equalizer is the standard middleware to create parallel OpenGL-based applications. Please visit https://github.com/Eyescale for current development information.

surf is a tool to visualize algebraic curves and algebraic surfaces. It is written in C++. The GUI is written using the Gtk widget set.

OpenSim - Open Simulator. Primarily a 3D simulator for multiple indoor and outdoor mobile robots. Includes 3D real-time rendering (via OSG) and a physics engine (via ODE). Current emphasis is on manipulators.

Zhu3D is an interactive OpenGL-based mathematical function viewer. You can visualize functions, parametric systems and isosurfaces. The viewer supports special effects like animation, morphing, transparency, textures, fog and motion blur.

2D/3D Scene Graph rendering engine for Linux/Unix/Win32 layered atop OpenGL. Supports stereoscopy, volume rendering, 2D/3D texture mapping, picking, LOD and view-dependent operations, cross-platform text, constant-rate rendering and image-based data.

The Mesh Viewer is an easy to use lightweight application for displaying three dimensional models (triangular meshes) from a variety of file formats. It uses OpenGL to render the models.

This project is no longer active.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

The Happy Cube Solver is an interactive interface for designing and building cubes and other designs from the Happy Cube 3D puzzles. It integrates a graphic engine for creating and viewing designs and a simple engine for solving them. Online version: http://shooshx.github.io/happysolver/emscripten/index.html Maintainance of this project moved to: https://github.com/shooshx/happysolver This program is indented to support you while playing live with the Happy Cube©® Puzzles. These puzzles are worldwide manufacturered by HAPPY bvba, Belgium, on licensed and thus restricted base (www.happy.be). The Happy Cube puzzles are the result of a real invention in 1986 by Dirk Laureyssens.

Displays four-dimensional objects and functions by projecting them into three-dimensional space. Viewpoint transformations and parameter changes are displayed in real time. THE PROJECT'S CODE BASE HAS BEEN MOVED TO GITHUB: https://github.com/lene/HyperspaceExplorer The Git repository on SourceForge will be kept in sync with GitHub at least for the time being, but for the latest commits you should check the GitHub Project. If you want to report a bug or a feature request, please use the GitHub issue tracker at https://github.com/lene/HyperspaceExplorer/issues

GXSM -- Gnome X Scanning Microscopy: A multi-channel image and vector-probe data acquisition and visualization system designed for SPM techniques (STM,AFM..), but also SPA-LEED/LEED/LEEM data analysis. A plug-in interface allows any user add-on data-processing and special hardware and instrument support. Latest: NC-AFM and related explorative methods as SQDM can be configured. High-Speed external PAC-PLL hardware option with digital DSP link. Based on several hardware options it supports a commercially available DSP hardware and provided also Open Source Code for all the low level signal processing tasks and instrument controls in a most flexible and adaptable manner. All latest software is available via SVN only or Live Demo/Install CD: http://www.ventiotec.de/linux/GXSM-Linux.iso

The X3DToolKit is a developer's API that allows you to load X3D files into a logical graph. That graph can then be traversed and converted into your favorite Graphic Scenegraph or can be rendered using X3DTK's OpenGL scenegraph.

LexoView is 3D model viewer with focus on CAD data visualization. It is written in Open Inventor.

Open Source Remote Sensing OSSIM project, pronounced "awesome", will leverage existing algorithms/tools/packages from the open source community in construction of the ultimate Remote Sensing/Image Processing/GIS package. osgPlanet extends OSSIM and Op

This project is no longer hosted on SourceForge. Both PolyVox and Thermite3D are now hosted on Gitorious, but the Thermite3D project is no longer activly developed. You should focus only on using PolyVox. New website: http://www.volumesoffun.com

AQUYNZA is a set of C++ libraries, sample programs and doc's for the modelling, visualization and persistence of 3D environments. Its modular and highly portable. Its primary objective is helping to learn (and teach) computer graphics. (code in SPANISH)!

Animp is an OpenGL program to display movies of particles in motion where the movies are produced by adding calls to animp library routines to simulation code written in either C++ or Fortran. Animp can also display molecules read from PDB files.

Designed for non-expert scientists considering to use VR, Aura presents an easy-to-understand C++ API that extends basic available low-level graphics facilities like OpenGL or Direct3D with scene graph management paradigms and a VR programming framework.

BCRT is a raytracer that uses povray-like syntax for defining scenes. It is ment as a teaching-projekt and offers multiple shapes and special effects.

Scientific software for the physically accurate photorealistic visualisation of relativistic (near light-speed) scenarios.

CamlOSG is an OCaml bindings for OpenSceneGraph.

Conic Planet is a CGI application which renders a photo-realistic real-time image of the Earth and other planets. It has support for Azimuthal, Mercator, Mollweide, Orthographic, and Rectangular projections. It also shows the current cloud covering.

2D, 3D object indexes (Quadtree, Octree, Quadtree with object radius indexation), fast geometry find functions, template classes with embedded 2D, 3D indexation and fast search features.
