The first 3D game engine built in C# for .NET, predecessor to the Visual3D Game Engine (https://www.poweraccess.net/visual3d-game-engine), an All-in-One Game Development Tool for Next-Gen 3D Games, MMOs, Simulations and Virtual Worlds powered by Microsoft XNA.

The OpenGL OBJ Loader is an 'OBJ' mesh loader & viewer.<br>It is written in C++ and uses OpenGL & SDL.<br>The project's second iteration reads vertex, normal, texture, and mtl data.<br>Note: the 'OBJ' file format is known by most modern 3D modelers.

A generic hierarchical file format. BHM can be seen as the binary equivalent of XML. It allows flexible hierarchies of any type of data, in a platform-independent way. BHM however trades XML's readability for compactness and speed of processing.

BZK is a set of tools to help creating games for mobile devices. Graphics are simple but enough to create good games. This suit maybe not be suitable for very intensive games or near-photorealistic graphics. For everything else, welcome.

Browser3D is a new type of browser where you can interact with a real 3D environment while surfing the web. You can create your own 3D world in your site by adding some few tags to your html files.

A free rendered GUI library providing windowing and widgets for the easy creation of HUDs for games. It supports themes/skinning, XML-based configuration, and works with any graphics API or rendering engine including Axiom, Irrlicht, and SDL.NET.

Curl 3D Gallery creates virtual world parsing Google sketchup kml file! You can put images and links, touch walls, go up the stairs,and take an elevator in Curl 3D Gallery. This application based on Curl language.

Emma (Extensible Multi Media Architecture) is an open-source, modular, extensible, dynamic framework for declarative authoring and display of 2D and 3D interactive multimedia. It uses Lua for scripting and Ogre3D for rendering. http://www.emma3d.org

GTO is a file format whose primary usage is storage of static geometric data, though it can be used to store just about anything.

KAGEfx is a framework to load shader programs based on the OpenGL Shading Language contained within an XML file that holds descriptive metadata about the shader and to replace shader modules on the fly with respect to their level-of-detail metadata.

PoJamas aims to provide a Python and tools for loading, processing, and producing .cr2, pz3 (crz, pzz) files compatible with the SmithMicro (e-frontier) Poser character animation application. PoJamas is composed of: - Python library - Python Wavefront (.obj) 3D viewer based on GLFW - LibreOffice/Python Application (to ease the library and the viewer usage) As of 2020, the project is ported in Python3 As of 2021 this project proposes a 3D viewer for Wavefront files (pypos3dv) PyPosPosLO v0.15 (and above) provides the means to easily create Poser Mechanical Character. Results can be seen here: https://sharecg.com/v/94509/view/11/Poser/Hawker-Tempest-Character-v2

Flexible, framework-agnostic static site generation for sites and SPAs built with webpack. This is the stable 3.x version of prerender-spa-plugin based on puppeteer. If you're looking for the (now-deprecated) 2.x version, based on PhantomJS, take a look at the v2 branch. The goal of this plugin is to provide a simple prerendering solution that is easily extensible and usable for any site or single-page-app built with webpack. Plugins for other task runners and build systems are planned. Framework-specific examples can be found in the examples/ directory. Most usages of prerender-spa-plugin v2.x should be compatible with v3.x. The exception being advanced configuration options that controlled PhantomJS. These have been replaced by pluggable renderers with their own specific configuration options.

Screen (or SCalable REndering ENgine) is a rendering engine based on both 3D rendering and highlty parallel algorithms. It provides powerful scripting interfaces and integrated development environment for 3D games and scientific simulations.

The Deimos Project is a Java-based game development library collection. Includes Vertex Modeler, a 3D modeler that lets you programatically define models using Java source code. The modeler is also a simple scene graph API.

The Virtual World Project aims to create a protocol and the associate client and server that represent a 3 dimensional world where users can share knowledge and their own creative endeavors.

VueGL is a component library for rendering 3D graphics with Vue.js and three.js. Using VueGL, you can handle WebGL very easily. In addition, drawn graphics are responsively re-rendered when detecting data changes. Vue.js is one of the very popular frameworks for building web apps or interactive websites. three.js is a 3D graphics library to uses WebGL. It provides classes wrapping WebGL APIs. They aim for different targets to be rendered, Vue.js for DOM and three.js for WebGL context. These APIs are completely different and that causes a mess when we want them to work together.

A Windows tool for converting any TrueType font into a format suitable for use on 3D hardware. Template output system. Merging of visually identical characters. Aggressive atlasing. Anisotropic scale to support frame buffers with non-square pixels.

XGL Viewer: A simple fast program to load the XGL standard file format and display it using JOGL (OpenGL) allowing the user to move the object around in space, rotate, zoom, spin, ect... This loader should be easily integrated into any program.

osGraphX is a 3D file viewer. Based on openscenegraph, it can load all the OSG supported file formats.

Beautifully Render* your Graphic3D and Shown or Manipulate right in the Front End (without Export to, ie 3DStudio Art Renderer, et al). For use with Mathematica 4.0 - 13.1. Makes file.ray or .pov that will look much like image in notebook except rendered. Works easily/automatically with many Graphics3D (and some Graphic) as well. However graphics in 13.1 is too big to comment on: many will work many not. Has many options to fix renders that aren't so auto. Now very portable (Apple, Microsoft, Linux) supported (given rayshade or povray binary download or compiled). No OS scripting needed. * raytracing makes more realistic images than GL/CL/Cuda (are best for game, geo/mapping, accelerated) but is slower. POVRay is supported about as well. For a .gif animation see: http://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/1096001 see also: https://sourceforge.net/p/rayshade http://www.povray.org

tkBacktracer is a cross-platform interactive visualization tool to explore the tool motions in RS-274D "G-code" CNC files used in computer controlled milling and manufacturing.
