Open Source Java 3D Rendering Software for BSD

Over 1,000,000 page views per month. Jmol/JSmol is a molecular viewer for 3D chemical structures that runs in four independent modes: an HTML5-only web application utilizing jQuery, a Java applet, a stand-alone Java program (Jmol.jar), and a "headless" server-side component (JmolData.jar). Jmol can read many file types, including PDB, CIF, SDF, MOL, PyMOL PSE files, and Spartan files, as well as output from Gaussian, GAMESS, MOPAC, VASP, CRYSTAL, CASTEP, QuantumEspresso, VMD, and many other quantum chemistry programs. Files can be transferred directly from several databases, including RCSB, EDS, NCI, PubChem, and MaterialsProject. Multiple files can be loaded and compared. A rich scripting language and a well-developed web API allow easy customization of the user interface. Features include interactive animation and linear morphing. Jmol interfaces well with JSpecView for spectroscopy, JSME for 2D->3D conversion, POV-Ray for images, and CAD programs for 3D printing (VRML export).

Art of Illusion is a full featured 3D modelling, rendering, and animation studio. It is written entirely in Java, and can run on almost any operating system.

BRL-CAD is a powerful cross-platform constructive solid geometry solid modeling system that includes an interactive geometry editor, ray-tracing for rendering & geometric analyses, network distributed framebuffer support, image & signal-processing tools.

FreeWRL is an Open Source, cross platform VRML2 and X3D compliant browser, with script, SAI and EAI support. Platforms supported: Linux and other Unix-style platforms; Mac OS/X; Windows. Support for mobile platforms (iOS, Android, QNX) is under development.

G3D is a commercial-grade C++ 3D engine. It is used in commercial games, research papers, military simulators, and university courses. G3D supports real-time rendering, off-line rendering like ray tracing, and general purpose computation on GPUs. As of January 16, 2018, SourceForge is again the home of the active repository for G3D.

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...

The Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) is a scientific, LGPL-ed library for bio- and cheminformatics and computational chemistry written in Java. The main home page of the CDK is now at: http://cdk.github.io

OpenVRML is a cross-platform VRML and X3D browser and C++ runtime library.

A graph-based procedural texture editor to create 2d seamless textures for real-time rendering applications.

Project closed ! Please use JOGL. http://jogamp.org OpenGL[tm] for Java[tm], formerly known as GL4Java, supports Java with a native OpenGL mapping. The OS native OpenGL functionality is avaiable from

Earth3D is a program to display the earth as a 3D globe (including heightfields) in real-time. One can zoom until cities become visible. It uses huge datasets that are loaded on demand over the internet. It is possible to embed dynamic data into the view

Arbaro is an implementation of the tree generating algorithm described in Jason Weber & Joseph Penn: Creation and Rendering of Realistic Trees

Sunflow is a rendering system for photo-realistic image synthesis. It is written in Java and built around a flexible ray tracing core and an extensible object-oriented design.

GpsPrune is a java application to view and manage coordinate data, eg from GPS units. With it you can load a variety of text and Xml formats, view the data (in 2d and 3d), edit and convert the data, correlate photos and audio, create charts and more.

Raytrace is designed to be a completely platform independant Raytracer which includes a Gui interface. Designed and written in Sun Microsystem's Java language.

This Eclipse plugin help you to create, edit and verify your GLSL (OpenGL Shading Language) and NVidia CG vertex and pixel shaders directly inside the Eclipse IDE. Each shader can be edit in an editor with syntax color with error/warning markers.

A set of tools for producing and adjusting images for use with lenticular sheets or barrier screens to produce 3D autostereograms. It should be possible to use these tools to produce short Animations as well.

The Deimos Project is a Java-based game development library collection. Includes Vertex Modeler, a 3D modeler that lets you programatically define models using Java source code. The modeler is also a simple scene graph API.

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.

GLGraphics is a library for the Processing programming language that offers a number of classes to simplify the handling of OpenGL textures, GLSL shaders and off-screen rendering inside Processing.

Loki Render allows you to create your own render farm, serving Blender render jobs to a group of computers. Loki is easy to setup and runs on Linux, Windows or Mac, making it a quick and flexible distributed network rendering solution!

several vaguely related projects worked on by me: a 3d engine with a javascript-like scripting language (pdsys); an older scheme dialect (vmsys); ... (2009-04-28: I have been gone for years, may try to put up some newer stuff...).

sdljava is a java binding to the SDL library.

JCGrid is an easy-to-use tools for real-world grid-computing. It requires only to install Java Runtime and you can easy split your cpu-intensive task among several Workstations/PC/Mac/etc. It includes support for POVRay and MandelGrid as usage examples.

Openmark will be a Open Source benchmark that will have 32/64 bit options for video rendering tests on X11 as well as HD speed, FSB, etc benchmarks. Also many tools like: temp monitor, speed control, etc.
