lucille is a parallel global illumination renderer with RenderMan interface support

mCode is designed to be a dynamic 3d platform for simulation and visualization, with a focus on visual networking.

Ray tracer to create stunning 3D render of scene description.

mesher is a program (and a library) to do surface reconstruction from a set of data (points or bitmap)

Triangle mesh tool and library. Primary features include generation from mathmatical equation, decimation or edge reduction, clipping, and interactive viewer.

mgE3D - mgEngine3D is an unfinished 3D Engine based on OpenGL. By now it provided several features like scenetree, mesh/skeleton mesh rendering and animation, terrain, materials, textures, multiple viewports, Python exporter for Blender and so on.

A Linux Clone of Caligari truespace ported to gtk2.

With miao3d you can train a specific Gaussian Markov Random Field (GMRF) that then can be used to estimate a depthmap ("3D"), given an image ("2D"). A GUI allows inspection of the image + depthmap.

MGL is a GLUT-like toolkit oriented to Game Programming. It supports OpenGL extensions, texture loading (BMP,TGA,RAW,DDS), native and DInput (Win32) keyboard input, mouse filtering, FSAA, internal GLU implementation (optional) and is fast and portable (W

The 3D software rendering tutorial, without any performance optimization, mainly shows people how to write a software renderer with a fixed pipeline. Although the main body code is only 700 lines, the sparrow is small and complete. The source code has only one mini3d.c, and a single file implements everything and is easy to read. No third-party library dependencies, no complicated project directories. Standard D3D coordinate model, left-handed system plus WORLD / VIEW / PROJECTION three matrices. Implementing Cropping: Simple CVV Cropping. Up to 1024 x 1024 textures. Use the depth buffer to judge the image before and after. Perspective Texture Mapping and Perspective Color Fill. Accurate polygon edge coverage calculation. The rendering engine has only 700 lines, the modules are clear, and the backbone is prominent. Detailed comments, detailed comments on the main code.

A mini 3D computer graphics C++ cross-platform library (LGPL). Providing the minimum set of 3D objects: vector, point, transformation matrix, and quaternion. Suitable for students who are learning 3D concepts, or 3D gurus who like to build a scene-graph.

The goal of the miniGL project is to allow for easy porting of 3D OpenGL code to the Palm Computing platform.

A set of libraries, written in C/C++, to perform multimedia operations on Windows systems. These libraries are especially suited for performing psychophysical experiments on human and animal vision.

morphobj3DS chung is a free program for viewing / morphing multi obj 3ds mesh model objects and obj models up to 200k vertices for high quality animations . Uses loadobj3ds_chung and openGL . Comes with an example of waking 3ds elephant and bikini lady animation with face3D head . Is written in fast freebasic . Combine multiple variations meshes with a base mesh to easily build complex animations . Can run on old pcs with openGL1.4 .

mrLiquid is a tool for translating Maya scenes into another renderer's scene description. Currently it provides support for mental ray and provides a very direct level of compatability with maya2mr.

The mudGE Font builder is a tool to create bitmapped fonts for use as texture in OpenGL and/or DirectX.

mwEngine is a 3D game engine with emphasis put on good design practices and ease of use.

A lighweight experimental 3D gaming engine running on Direct3D9 programmable pipeline.

nemosomen is a framework for designing open source, network based, multimedia (video/openGL/sound/MIDI) realtime toys a suite of tools for distributed development, processing of media. It tries to shift most of the working process in realtime processes.

NFJE is a 3D graphics library in java suitable to build applets for JDK1.1 compliant browsers as well as OpenGL graphics (through GL4Java). NFJE provides a level of abstraction so that the "business logic" is totally independent of the renderer used.

NGN is an open source and cross platform realtime 3D graphics engine.

Based on the great opengl tutorial website (http://nehe.gamedev.net), I am extracting some common API in a very object oriented programming fashion. Once the API is complete, I will start porting it to more modern versions of OpenGL. This is not really new, but it is my way of learning...

Nysa is a framework written in C++ enabling easy development of 3-D enabled applications using dedicated hardware such as stereoscopy glasses and data gloves.

A work in progress. obScene will be a highly photo-realistic raytracer which includes fractal primitives, advanced lighting/texture effects and python scripting access.
