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.

GtkGLExt is an OpenGL extension to GTK+. It provides additional GDK objects which support OpenGL rendering in GTK+, and GtkWidget API add-ons to make GTK+ widgets OpenGL-capable.

PyOpenGL is the binding layer between Python and OpenGL.

The Objectron dataset is a collection of short, object-centric video clips, which are accompanied by AR session metadata that includes camera poses, sparse point-clouds and characterization of the planar surfaces in the surrounding environment. In each video, the camera moves around the object, capturing it from different angles. The data also contain manually annotated 3D bounding boxes for each object, which describe the object’s position, orientation, and dimensions. The dataset consists of 15K annotated video clips supplemented with over 4M annotated images in the following categories: bikes, books, bottles, cameras, cereal boxes, chairs, cups, laptops, and shoes. In addition, to ensure geo-diversity, our dataset is collected from 10 countries across five continents. Along with the dataset, we are also sharing a 3D object detection solution for four categories of objects — shoes, chairs, mugs, and cameras.

The Open-Source PyMOL repository has been moved to github: https://github.com/schrodinger/pymol-open-source We still use the pymol-users mailing list here on sourceforge. Please subscribe for community support: https://pymol.org/maillist (Note: SourceForge email newsletter and special offers are optional and can be unchecked) The PyMOL community wiki has its own home: https://pymolwiki.org/

UPDATE: Chromium is no longer updated or maintained. The project is frozen. Chromium is a flexible framework for scalable real-time rendering on clusters of workstations, derived from the Stanford WireGL project code base.

GLE is a library of C functions that draw extruded surfaces, including surfaces of revolution, sweeps, tubes, polycones, polycylinders and helicoids. GLE uses the OpenGL(R) API to perform the actual rendering.

GXSM -- Gnome X Scanning Microscopy: A multi-channel image and vector-probe data acquisition and visualization system designed for SPM techniques (STM,AFM..), but also SPA-LEED/LEED/LEEM data analysis. A plug-in interface allows any user add-on data-processing and special hardware and instrument support. Latest: NC-AFM and related explorative methods as SQDM can be configured. High-Speed external PAC-PLL hardware option with digital DSP link. Based on several hardware options it supports a commercially available DSP hardware and provided also Open Source Code for all the low level signal processing tasks and instrument controls in a most flexible and adaptable manner. All latest software is available via SVN only or Live Demo/Install CD: http://www.ventiotec.de/linux/GXSM-Linux.iso
