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).

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.

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.

Important: Groimp migrates to Gitlab. You can find the latest code and documentation at https://gitlab.com/grogra/groimp/-/wikis/home. The version on Sourceforge will not be updated anymore. The modelling platform GroIMP is designed as an integrated platform which incorporates modelling, visualisation and interaction. It exhibits several features which makes itself suitable for the field of biological or ALife modelling: The “modelling backbone” consists in the language XL. It is fully integrated, e.g., the user can interactively select the rules to be applied. GroIMP provides classes that can be used in modelling: Turtle commands, further geometrical classes like bicubic surfaces, the class Cell which has been used in the Game Of Life implementation, and so on. The outcome of a model is visualised within GroIMP. In the visual representation of the model output, users can interact with the dynamics of the model, e.g., by selecting or deleting elements.

STL 3D object file viewer for java. - install unzip distributed stlviewer*.zip - run go into the directory run: java -jar stlviewer.jar In Windows and various OS, you may be able to run it by simply double clicking on the jar file. Navigation - holding / dragging the left mouse button rotates the model - holding / dragging the right mouse button pan the model - rotating the mouse wheel forward moves away from the model / backward moves towards the model - clicking home on the toolbar reverts to the initial view - Pre-requisites Release 0.9.0 Java 11 JDK/JRE. Some JDK/JRE broke the right button pan function. If you encounter the issue, try Tools > "fix mouse interactions" Release 0.8.0 Java 8 JDK/JRE. this is the previous working release. If you are running Java 8, use this release. - note - review readme.md and the various files in distributed files for further details
