Open Source Java 3D Rendering Software

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).

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.

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.

Ycad is a library of CAD functions in Java. Currently only DXF is supported for reading, viewing and writing. The DXF drawing may be rendered to a Graphics object for printing or imaging.

ProteinShader is a molecular visualization tool that can produce illustrative renderings of proteins that approximate what an artist might create using pen and ink. This free platform-independent program is written in Java and OpenGL Shading Language.

The purpose of the project is to develop a quantitative medical imaging & visualization program for use on brain MR, DTI and MRS data. It is a joint project of the Kennedy Krieger Institute & the Johns Hopkins University, Psychiatric Neuroimaging Lab

JGV is a Java applet that lets you embed movable 3D objects in web pages. Users can rotate, scale, translate, select and annotate the objects interactively. Also, JGV supports XML-based transmission of user events to the source web server over HTTP.

Java 3D Game SDK based on J2SE 1.4 and Java 3D 1.3. No native code is used, so this SDK should be portable to all operating systems, which provide the above SDKs. The SDK provides functions from initializing the window till model animating and renderin

Simulates a biologically diverse tropical island, and the ape inhabitants cognitive processes. For MacOS X, iPad, Windows and Linux. Features a non-polygonal graphics engine and a command-line version

An extensible, real-time, 3D visualization, simulation, and game-design authoring tool. Integrates Java 3D and Eclipse RCP. Drag-&-Drop editing of a complex 3D scene graph. Fast world-building. Web delivery via Webstart or Applets.

An object oriented Java package that can be used to store 3-D graphs and perform various functions on them, arranging nodes with a spring embedder and generating VRML output. Visit http://vrmlgraph.i-scream.org.uk for documentation and examples.

This is a short C++/Java/C#/Python benchmark. Based on Paul Heckbert's sources. Thank you Paul!

Circus is a jMonkeyEngine based cluster-solution for multi-screen VR-systems.

The program Visualizes the diffusion of water in the brain through ellipsoids.

DarkMaps is a program that reads images and builds a 3D map from them.

java3d-eclipse project defines a set of plug-ins for building java3d enabled applications.

EyesRay render a 3D scene with the raytracing algorithm. Some specifics points are: a scene loader, the support of transparency, avaibility to generate images (ppm format)...

J3DVN is a framework which facilitates the creation of three dimensional data visualization using Java 3D. It works as a plug-in for Eclipse.

JBean3D project aims to develop JavaBeans components representing classes in Java3D.

JVisual3D is a GUI library, 3D geometry viewer and a mathematical visualization software written in pure java. It is comparable with the well known javaview project. This is under GPL. Create, manipulate and display easiely meshes, 3d shapes, surfaces,..

Jamberoo (former JMolEditor) is a library of algorithms for structural Computational Chemistry implemented in the Java programming language. The Jamberoo classes can be integrated into other Java applications.

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.

Java Inventor is a Java interface to Open Inventor. Open Inventor (http://oss.sgi.com/projects/inventor/) is a popular API for developers of 3D applications. Java Inventor uses the Java Native Interface (JNI) to access the Open Inventor C++ libraries.

Raytracing rendering engine written in Java. Plug it into a modeling environment, or programmatically create a scene. Uses Constructive Solid Geometries (CSG), bounding boxes, and fully extensible design (at least eventually).
