...If you want to easily make some simple 3D primitives and see multiple reflections or dink with ray trace code, you might find this fun, read on. In 2nd grade we had a sub who taught us to draw 2pt perspective - life was never the same. My dad's drafting book taught that and 3pt persp. In art I was awed by Durer and the mirror in Van Eyke's Wedding. In the 70s-80s I was trying to do 3D on early computers - big BW pixels! By late 80s I saw ray tracing and had to write my own. I wrote the 1st ver while taking vector calculus and CAD programming classes c. '92. I was intrigued not only by the beauty of the math but also ray tracing curved metals. ...

...Some of the code is left in an unfinished/testing state. This game was a learning experiment for me, and the math used is tested until it works for the game. After using the science math by the book, there were still flaws that could make the player get stuck under certain conditions (since floating point is not exact), and the workarounds for this are just my own ideas. Have looked at the code for other 3D games and there are mostly the same problems around collision detection and "hacks" to get it to "work".

SOLARIS is a graphic adventure created and developing by Blender. The game takes place in the Solaris space station, as is described in the book "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem and Tarkovsky's film.

This is a Java implementation of ray tracer presented in the book Ray Tracing from the Ground Up. Since it is in Java, it can be run on every platform. Note that the implementation is ongoing and it is developed as an Eclipse project.

A 3D engine for virtual globes designed to illustrate engine design and rendering techniques described in our upcoming book. OpenGlobe is written in C# and uses OpenGL 3.3 core profile (via OpenTK). OpenGlobe is now also on GitHub: https://github.com/virtualglobebook/OpenGlobe

Game engine modeled on the simpengine from the book Opengl Game programming. To be built in JAVA, on top of JOGL (which is a set of JAVA bindings to Opengl). Also, coding of a tutorial testbed and a simple game demo.
