Open Source Unix Shell Graphics Software

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.

SwiftShader is Google’s high-performance CPU-based implementation of the Vulkan 1.3 graphics API, designed to provide a hardware-independent rendering solution for 3D graphics. Unlike traditional GPU drivers, SwiftShader executes graphics commands entirely on the CPU, making it ideal for environments where dedicated graphics hardware is unavailable or unsuitable. It acts as a drop-in replacement for Vulkan drivers, allowing existing applications to run seamlessly by redirecting API calls through its software-based rendering engine. The project supports Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, and ChromeOS, offering broad cross-platform compatibility. SwiftShader’s design emphasizes both performance and compliance, enabling robust software rendering for testing, virtualization, and cloud-based graphics workloads.

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.

Kokua is an open source metaverse viewer project based on the Second Life Viewer source. Disclaimer: This software is not provided or supported by Linden Lab, the makers of Second Life. The goal of Kokua is to greatly improve the usability of the Viewer through community involvement, thoughtful design, modern development methods, and a pro-change atmosphere.

LPub3D is an Open Source WYSIWYG editing application for creating LEGO® style digital building instructions. LPub3D is developed and maintained by Trevor SANDY. It uses the LDraw™ parts library, the most comprehensive library of digital Open Source LEGO® bricks available (www.ldraw.org/ ) and reads the LDraw LDR and MPD model file formats. LPub3D is available for free under the GNU Public License v3 and runs on Windows, Linux and macOS Operating Systems. LPub3D is also available as a Linux 'no-install', multi-platform AppImage. Portions of LPub3D are based on LPUB© 2007-2009 Kevin Clague, LeoCAD© 2025 Leonardo Zide, LDView© 2025 Travis Cobbs & Peter Bartfai and additional third party components.

XMIPP is an image processing suite for 3D-reconstruction of biological specimens from transmission electron microscopy data. NOTE that stable releases (including binaries) are longer stored at Sourceforge, but are available at http://xmipp.cnb.csic.es

NPDB offers a comprehensive platform for creating and maintaining a database of both old, digitized images and new snapshots captured by smartphones. This versatile system allows users to organize and search through their collection using customizable tags, catering to images of any vintage. One of NPDB's key features is its flexible tagging system, which allows users to categorize their images using an arbitrary set of tags tailored to their preferences. This intuitive approach streamlines the organization process, making it easier than ever to locate specific images amidst a vast collection. Powered by an embedded SQL database, NPDB delivers lightning-fast search results, ensuring that users can access the images they need almost instantaneously. Whether searching by tags or entering free-text queries, NPDB executes SQL queries efficiently, providing accurate results in no time. Developed primarily in C++, NPDB ensures seamless operation on Linux, Windows (via WSL), and Chrome OS.

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.
