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

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.

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

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.

React Adopt is a small TypeScript library for composing multiple React render-prop components into a cleaner interface. It was created to solve the problem of nested render-prop callbacks, which can make React code harder to read and maintain. The library provides a simple adopt method that combines results from a mapper into a single render function. It supports use cases involving multiple render-prop utilities, React Context consumers, custom render handling, mapper-based prop shaping, and inline composition. At only about 0.7 KB minified, it is intentionally small and focused. It is most useful in older or render-prop-heavy React codebases that need a cleaner composition pattern without introducing a larger state-management abstraction.

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.

OpenVRML is a cross-platform VRML and X3D browser and C++ runtime library.

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.

An implementation of the OpenGL API.

image-blaster is an image-to-world skillset that turns a single input image into a richer 3D production starting point. It uses Claude skills together with external generation services to create 3D environments, object meshes, Gaussian splats, and sound effects. The project is designed to accelerate early-stage 3D work by producing usable assets from visual references in just a few guided steps. It can generate dynamic object models, static environment captures, ambient loops, and object-specific physics sounds. The resulting assets can be used in game engines, 3D tools, and web-based graphics projects. image-blaster is best understood as an experimental agent workflow for quickly jumpstarting interactive worlds rather than a full 3D authoring suite.

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...

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

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

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
