Open Source Cygwin 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.

OpenArena is a 3d game creation engine. It is a rendering system that can be used for more than just games but it is targeted at games. The basic use being create some game media textures models maps and config files for physics and rules.

SaVi - simulate Starlink, Iridium, Globalstar, O3b, GPS, Galileo and other satellite constellations, modify them, or design your own. Requires Tcl/Tk and Unix libraries; 3D viewing option requires Geomview running on X Window.

Freestyle is a software for Non-Photorealistic Line Drawing rendering from 3D scenes. Inspired by Pixar's Renderman, it is designed as a programmable interface to allow maximum control over the style of the output image.

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.

Y.A.P.R.M. is a free-as-in-freedom modeller to graphicaly design 3d scenes and generate POV-Ray-files for them. Appart from the basic POV-Ray objects which can be used in CSG operations it supports spline based objects. Furthermore a vast amount of 3d-files can be imported and used with Y.A.P.R.M.

A Unix-based 3D Viewer for S3d File, used for rendering data collected from common cameras (e.g. stereo cameras)

NOTE: Use Fltk_Contour insted this code! FMesh is a simply scientific data visualization tool based on OpenGL. FMesh can generate 2D and 3D graph of contour and color maps for any (x,y,z) scattered data set, many other options are included.

A high performance visualization tool for stars and particles able to run on Beowulfs. Rendering step is implemented separately and optimized for SSE, compatible with OpenGL. Navigation mechanism with quaternions. Ten color maps, sobel contour detect

Imagin Raytracer is a portable and multithreaded raytracer designed to run on all Posix systems. With its many features and its ease of use, it makes it possible to create quickly realistic images and animations.

A tool for visualizing regular polytopes in stereographic projection. Capabilities include: a large database of Coxeter polytopes, 6-axis motion control, animation, fly-though, stereo viewing, high-res capture, depth-blur, and many style options.

Take a 2D flat photo... and turn it into a w3D "wiggle stereogram"! INSTANTLY! Wiggle stereograms use animation to switch between the left and right view of a stereogram. Here we create a nice animation that slides back and forth, for a smooth wiggle 3D ("w3D") effect. First the image is broken down into planes. Each plane is given a depth distance. The image belonging to each plane is horizontally compressed enough that the "shadows" cast by the image belonging to the planes in front of it cover the "holes" in the plane. The whole thing is then animated in a gentle see-saw fashion to get the wiggle effect. Wiggle Stereography was invented by Jim Gasperini, who made them by hand.

Seb's RayTracer is a 3D renderer. It runs on the command line, taking camera, scenery, and output information from an XML file. It is currently a personal project that only runs on Cygwin and Linux.

A simple 3D framework in C++ that supports OpenGL, OpenAL and GLUT.

Over 75 C++ function for working with vectors, matrix and quaternions. Inside the package there is no cycles, if's, classes or structures. Ideal for designing 3D engines. Headlines of functions are intuitive. For each headline there is a one line comment in Russian. Matrix are presented in OpenGL form 0 4 8 12 1 5 9 13 2 6 10 14 3 7 11 15 Now we are working on adding 50+ more functions for processing the planes, splines, bezier curves and interpolation methods.

3D simulation projects including realistic sky and atmosphere rendering and wavelength/spectrum based color rendering. May also later contain cloud and terrain generation.

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

rayGina is a C++ operating-system independent raytracing library, which provides interfaces to extend the raytracing process while runtime and represents a framework for raytracing experiments/development of different components

x3d render library is a 3d graphics framework with implementation of several useful rendering algorithms: a rasterization renderer(with implementation of both builtin software rendering & opengl hardware rendering); a path tracing renderer(cpu based) x3d demoscene is a framework and tool chains dedicated in animation production. x3d render library is used for the rendering component
