Open Source Python 3D Rendering Software

Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs. It infers the geometry of a scene from a set of unordered photographies or videos. Photography is the projection of a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, losing depth information. The goal of photogrammetry is to reverse this process. The dense modeling of the scene is the result yielded by chaining two computer vision-based pipelines, “Structure-from-Motion” (SfM) and “Multi View Stereo” (MVS). Fusion of Multi-bracketing LDR images into HDR. Alignment of panorama images. Support for fisheye optics. Automatically estimate fisheye circle or manually edit it. Take advantage of motorized-head file. Easy to integrate in your Renderfarm System. Add specific rules to select the most suitable machines regarding CPU, RAM, GPU requirements of each Node.

Armory is an open-source 3D engine focused on portability, minimal footprint and performance. The renderer is fully scriptable with deferred and forward paths supported out of the box. Armory provides a full Blender integration add-on, turning it into a complete game development tool. The result is a unified workflow from start to finish. Powered by Armory engine, ArmorPaint is a stand-alone software designed for physically-based texture painting. Drag & drop your 3D models and start painting. Receive instant visual feedback in the viewport as you paint. Powered by Armory engine, ArmorLab is stand-alone software designed for AI-powered texture authoring. Generate PBR materials by drag & dropping your photos. In development! Armory is an open-source 3D game engine with full Blender integration. The engine is currently available in a form of early preview.
