Open Source Ruby 3D Modeling Software

Draper adds an object-oriented layer of presentation logic to your Rails application. Without Draper, this functionality might have been tangled up in procedural helpers or adding bulk to your models. With Draper decorators, you can wrap your models with presentation-related logic to organize and test this layer of your app much more effectively. Imagine your application has an Article model. With Draper, you'd create a corresponding ArticleDecorator. The decorator wraps the model, and deals only with presentational concerns. In the controller, you decorate the article before handing it off to the view. In the view, you can use the decorator in exactly the same way as you would have used the model. But whenever you start needing logic in the view or start thinking about a helper method, you can implement a method on the decorator instead.

This is a Ruby script for Google SketchUp which can export 3D scenes to the Ogre 3D rendering engine. It is released under the LGPL. Development is sponsorized by ASA-Lab at the Virtual Reality & Multimedia Park.

** The OpenStudio Legacy Plug-in has been relaunch as Euclid by Big Ladder Software, please see the new homepage: http://bigladdersoftware.com/projects/euclid/ ** The Legacy OpenStudio SketchUp Plug-in makes it easy to create and edit the building geometry in your EnergyPlus input files. Note that active development has moved to the more comprehensive OpenStudio suite of tools and libraries at https://www.openstudio.net/.

Why do Archicad and Revit only share 30 or 40% of the global architectural sofware market ? Maybe because lots of small practices find these software unadapted to the way they work, and to their bank account. I think there's place for an open software that doesn't work like the existing. It will be simple in its tools and processes, and will have infinite capabilities. This will be possible by defining a logical structure. As I am an architect, and I know very little about programming, and wouldn't reach even in 10 years the necessary level to be able to write anything useful for this type of software, my part will be to bring ideas and coherence to this project.

Ruby-Newton is a Ruby wrapper for the NewtonGameDynamics physics engine ( http://newtondynamics.com/ ) It brings object-oriented real-time animated physics simulations to Ruby-enabled applications (e.g. 3D modeling tool with interactive scripting support

The Anvil is setting out to produce one strong platform for all media. Fluid work with major audio, video, raster/vector images, 3D formats and scripting languages will allow us to start from anywhere and temper out the masterpeice we needed.
