Open Source 3D Modeling Software

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).

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.

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.

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.

Arbaro is an implementation of the tree generating algorithm described in Jason Weber & Joseph Penn: Creation and Rendering of Realistic Trees

A C++ library to manipulate and create NURBS curves and surfaces.

Architecture for POV-Ray. A set of macros for easy creation of walls, windows, doors, railings and other things useful for building creation.

Raytrace is designed to be a completely platform independant Raytracer which includes a Gui interface. Designed and written in Sun Microsystem's Java language.

The Python Computer Graphics Kit is a collection of Python modules that contain the basic types and functions to be able to create 3D computer graphics images (focusing on Pixar's RenderMan interface).

SPE is a python IDE with auto indentation&completion,call tips,syntax coloring&highlighting,uml viewer,class explorer,source index,todo list,pycrust shell,file browsers,drag&drop,Blender support.Spe ships with wxGlade,PyChecker and Kiki.

MindGate is a virtual reality multiuser client - server system written in Java. The purpose of the system is to provide communication, persistence, 3d streaming support for users which are imersed into virtual reality worlds - stored anywhere on the Web.

Slut is a programming framework for generative, synthetic, interactive, network-enabled graphics. THIS IS AN OLD PROJECT. But since you are interested in it you should check out the SceneExpression project: http://labs.nortd.com/sx/

Xj3D is a project of the Web3D Consortium focused on creating a toolkit for VRML97 and X3D content written completely in Java. Xj3D has been produced and is maintained by Web3D Consortium members. Current status: active development with frequent updates. We have successfully ported the full codebase and history from the previous site to Sourceforge and are now following the Xj3D Evolution strategy. All open-source contributions are welcome. Further details are available at https://savage.nps.edu/Savage/developers.html#Xj3D

The 3ds to java converter is a 3ds loader for java3d. It uses the C-library lib3ds to convert files into a format that can easily be read into java, solving many of the bugs other 3ds loaders for java3d have.

A library of algorithms for general purpose use to alter representations of 3D meshes. Currently tested in the GNU/Linux and Win32 environments. C++ STL, OpenGL, GLUT, VRML97.

OpenGI is a platform-independent C-library for parameterizing triangular meshes and creating Geometry Images from this parameterization.

Loose intention is to develop a particle engine visualised with Java3D. Along the way various aspects of Java3D will be explored. Hopefully code generated will have benefit to others as a learning base.

Translate your roleplaying adventure dungeons from pen&paper into 3D models and generate videos from a flight over your model dungeon or even through the rooms. Contains lots of objects (animated fireball, chest, rooms...), and camera path helpers...

3D wireframe generation from a large dataset

B-Maxwell add-on offers seamless integration with Maxwell Render and Blender

C3A is a cross platform format for animated 3D geometry. Compact, fast, low bandwidth, and compatible with all current hardware/firmware; DirectX, OpenGL, XBox, PS2, 360, PS3, PSP, Wii, & DS.

A 3D graphics engine for use in 3D games and other real-time rendering applications using managed code (C#) and the .NET framework and supporting both the OpenGL and Direct3D APIs

NOTE: Codebase is being moved to it's new home at: https://github.com/cjcliffe/CubicVR A high-performance object-oriented OpenGL 2.0 & OpenGL ES 3D engine with a simple implicit library interface. Includes GLSL, Bullet physics and Lua scripting.
