Open Source ChromeOS 3D Rendering 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.

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).

3D game engine (more powerful redesign of the Cube engine) and FPS game

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.

MeshLab, a mesh processing system, for user assisted editing, cleaning, filtering and rendering of large unstructured 3D triangular meshes (typical 3D scanning meshes). The system relies for mesh processing tasks on the gpl VCG library (vcg.sf.net).

for the latest release see either - https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre - https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre-next An efficient, object-oriented hardware accelerated 3D engine. It abstracts the differences between APIs and platforms and allows scene-oriented coding through an easy to use object model. Adaptable to multiple scene types (indoor, outdoor, whatever)

Art of Illusion is a full featured 3D modelling, rendering, and animation studio. It is written entirely in Java, and can run on almost any operating system.

FreeWRL is an Open Source, cross platform VRML2 and X3D compliant browser, with script, SAI and EAI support. Platforms supported: Linux and other Unix-style platforms; Mac OS/X; Windows. Support for mobile platforms (iOS, Android, QNX) is under development.

An implementation of the OpenGL API.

The Chemistry Development Kit (CDK) is a scientific, LGPL-ed library for bio- and cheminformatics and computational chemistry written in Java. The main home page of the CDK is now at: http://cdk.github.io

QuteMol is a real time, high quality molecular visualizer that offers an array of innovative visual effects. QuteMol aims at improving the clarity of rendered images and at offering a better understanding of the molecular 3D shape and spatial structure.

Arbaro is an implementation of the tree generating algorithm described in Jason Weber & Joseph Penn: Creation and Rendering of Realistic Trees

Togl provides a platform independent Tk widget for using OpenGL rendering contexts.

Structure Synth generates 3D structures by specifying a design grammar. Even simple systems may generate surprising and complex structures. Structure Synth offers a graphical environment with multiple tabs, syntax highlighting, and OpenGL preview.

A graph-based procedural texture editor to create 2d seamless textures for real-time rendering applications.

B-Maxwell add-on offers seamless integration with Maxwell Render and Blender

3DCellForge is an AI-powered 3D cell generation and exploration studio built as a polished browser prototype. It uses React, Vite, Three.js, React Three Fiber, Drei, and Framer Motion to create an interactive WebGL environment for exploring biological cell models. Users can rotate, zoom, inspect organelles, compare views, take notes, capture screenshots, and export or import GLB models. The project also supports optional image-to-3D generation through cloud providers and local backends, while keeping API keys on the server side instead of exposing them in the frontend bundle. It includes cached demo models so the experience can work without generating a new model every time. Overall, it is a creative research and education tool for visualizing cell structures in a more interactive way than static diagrams.

A cross-platform terrain rendering engine that uses advanced techniques such as dynamic tessellation to render complex landscapes at high frame rates. Suitable for use in games, engineering, simulation, etc.

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.

PLIB is a set of libraries that are designed to help developers of interactive 3D applications such as games. All PLIB libraries are portable to just about every modern Operating System. PLIB includes OpenGL GUI and scene graph, portable audio, portable

Explore procedural worlds on your GPU. Worlds are defined by GLSL programs that map XYZ coordinates to the distance to the nearest surface. Design your own worlds, modify parameters in realtime and render hires videos of your recorded journey.

Crystal Space is an Open Source 3D SDK for Unix, Windows, and MacOS/X. It renders with OpenGL and features GLSL shaders, CG shaders, deferred rendering, dynamic shadows, bullet based physics library, terrain engine, skeleton based animation meshes, exporter for Blender, portals, etc...

Read, parse, render and run Cryptic Studios Inc. .demo files with ease.

Sour*eforge.net has become inaccesible to me because of Cl*udflare. The latest versions of the programs will be on my site: https://matei.one/. Simcar - driving (not racing) simulation, with stunts and realistic physics since version 5.0.0. GNU/Linux and Wind0w$ executables are available. SDL_grf - functions for 2D/3D graphics (including text), sound and input + a few programs for viewing 3D models, viewing ZX Spectrum *.scr files, simulating the Solar System etc. Simple3d - old program for rendering 3D models, now included in SDL_grf but not used in the latest programs.

OpenSim - Open Simulator. Primarily a 3D simulator for multiple indoor and outdoor mobile robots. Includes 3D real-time rendering (via OSG) and a physics engine (via ODE). Current emphasis is on manipulators.
