As of 2012-10-02, the well-known Tao project became officially abandoned and superseded by another project called OpenTK. However, since OpenTK follows a different way than Tao did, this project tries to carry on with the original design and ideas, but with cutting edge features. The ultimate goal is to have a 1:1 OpenGL binding for .NET, which supports OpenGL 4.x. The project tries to keep as much of the original goals as possible, including licensing, etc.

Spectrum3d is a software for Linux that displays the harmonics of the sound in 3D, either in real-time or from a preloaded file. It is multitouch and compatible with JACK. It uses OpenGL, SDL, Gstreamer, Gtk+ and (optionally) libjack.

ITK-SNAP is a software application used to segment structures in 3D medical images. It is the product of a decade-long collaboration between Paul Yushkevich, Ph.D., of the Penn Image Computing and Science Laboratory (PICSL) at the University of Pennsylvania, and Guido Gerig, Ph.D., of the Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute (SCI) at the University of Utah, whose vision was to create a tool that would be dedicated to a specific function, segmentation, and would be easy to use and learn. ITK-SNAP is free, open-source, and multi-platform.

GLTF/GLB Windows Shell Extension: This shell extension automatically adds thumbnail images to .glb files in Windows File Explorer and provides a right click menu option to generate a 3D preview image for .gltf files. Supports multi-file select and directory processing. Pre-built Windows x64 installer available at https://buymeacoffee.com/nathancrews/e/255640 LAS/LAZ Pointcloud Windows Shell Extension: This "quick viewer" shell extension provides a Windows File Explorer right click menu option to quickly generate 3D preview images for large and small .las and .laz files. (Disclaimer: Processing time depends on compute hardware) Typical processing time for 100mb .las is about 2 seconds. 25mb .laz file process in about the same times. Files are processed in parallel using available CPU cores. Pre-built Windows x64 installer available at https://buymeacoffee.com/nathancrews/e/255641

A C++ OpenGL GUI Toolkit. Visual output is customizable via CSS and style classes. Forms can be created via XUL (XML UI Language). There are builtin video drivers for GLX, WGL and SDL. Using dummy drivers, it is known to work with SDL, Glut, QT and GLFW.

LFI Player is a simple yet relatively powerful 3D laser display application written using MS Visual C/C++ and MFC. Object-oriented design provides extensability to the display of multiple laser file format types, and use of a variety of output hardware.

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.

GEM (Graphics Environment for Multimedia) is a library to be used with Miller Puckette's Max-like realtime-computermusic-software "Pure Data" (Pd), which allows to draw and control openGL- and pixel-graphics (like video) in realtime from within Pd.

GXSM -- Gnome X Scanning Microscopy: A multi-channel image and vector-probe data acquisition and visualization system designed for SPM techniques (STM,AFM..), but also SPA-LEED/LEED/LEEM data analysis.

QuesoGLC is a free implementation of the OpenGL Character Renderer. QuesoGLC is based on the FreeType library, provides Unicode support, and is designed to be easily ported to any platform that supports both FreeType and the OpenGL API.

now gnu-ized, gcc-4.7.4 or gcc-10.2.0 A raytracer does not require custom code for (shadows, mirrors) like GL: it uses physics to simulate light to make realistic images, leaving one to specify only what is in the scene. (at a cost of speed) Rayshade is a 1990's raytracer, a great one back then (and still useful). Rayshade has an excellent easy to read yet informative User's Guide that other's could not help but copy from. (html of guide is in rayshade-4.0-ftp-and-guide.tar.gz) Rayshade has no GUI but as a text language it's simple and elegant. --- The Utah Raster Toolkit 'liburt' is "optional" (see Files) and needed to see your output and adds alpha texures: see NEWS. (do NOT use URT with Rayshade-Mathematica, it likes raw rgb). export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -DPOPEN -DUSE_CPP" [ -n "$WITH_URT" ] && { CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I/usr/local/include -DURT" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/lib64" LIBS=" /usr/local/lib64/librle.a export LDFLAGS LIBS } sh ./configure

PHIGS is an API standard for rendering 3D computer graphics. During the 1990's OpenGL became a more popular 3D API for professionals, and it still is today. PHIGS remains to be widely used in the film industry. Open PHIGS uses OpenGL for rendering graphics rather than implementing it's own abstraction layer to the graphics hardware, or using the PHIGS Extension to X (PEX). The reason for doing so is that today every graphics card manufacturer provides their own OpenGL implementation, which takes full advantage of the accelerated drawing capabilities in the hardware. PHIGS is a higher level API than OpenGL that works with a hierarchical scene graph. Models are built up in a Centralized Structure Store (CSS), a database containing the drawing primitives and their attributes (color, line style, etc.). CSSes cand be shared among a number of views, known under PHIGS as a workstation. PHIGS is defined by the ISO standards ISO/IEC 9592 & 9593. Open PHIGS provides a library for C.
