GLMixer
Graphic Live Mixer
GLMixer performs real time graphical blending of several movie clips and of computer generated graphics. Drop video files in the mixing workspace and place them in a circular area to change their opacity ; if you selects two videos, moving them together performs a fading transition. This principle generalizes to a large number of videos. Direct interaction with the video allows to be fast and reactive, and to move and deform them on screen. The output of your operations is shown in the output window, typically displayed in full-screen on an external monitor or a projector. But the output can also be saved as a video file. Control GLMixer through network using OpenSoundControl, and generate graphics with ShaderToy GLSL code. Download : https://sourceforge.net/projects/glmixer/files/ Please note GLMixer is discontinued and superseded by vimix https://brunoherbelin.github.io/vimix/ -

Replica Dataset
High-fidelity indoor 3D dataset for AI simulation and robotics
Replica Dataset is a high-quality 3D dataset of realistic indoor environments designed to advance research in computer vision, robotics, and embodied AI. Developed by Facebook Research (now Meta AI), it features accurate geometric reconstructions, high-resolution and high dynamic range textures, and comprehensive semantic annotations. Each environment contains detailed models of real-world spaces, including rooms, furniture, glass, and mirror surfaces. The dataset also provides semantic and instance segmentations, planar decomposition, and navigation meshes, making it highly suitable for simulation, visual perception, and autonomous navigation tasks. Replica integrates seamlessly with AI Habitat, Meta’s framework for embodied AI training, enabling large-scale agent simulation and photorealistic rendering for reinforcement learning and robotics. Researchers can use Replica’s ReplicaViewer to interactively explore the 3D scenes. -

AviSynth AiUpscale v1.2.0
AviSynth+ implementation of Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural
An AviSynth+ implementation of some Super-Resolution Convolutional Neural Networks. Independent luma/chroma upscaling and chroma resampling. Two modes for Video/Photography and Line Art. KrigBilateral option for chroma upscaling/resampling. mpv user shaders of all models for real-time upscaling. Copy AiUpscale.avsi and the Shaders folder to the AviSynth+ plugins folder. The low resolution images were generated using the bicubic filter with Catmull-Rom settings, which is the method commonly used for training super-resolution networks, including those tested here. Note however that as an exception to this, the Anime4K models were trained using the average area downsampling method. The AiUpscale models used for all datasets were the "Photo" models, except for the Manga109 dataset for which the "LineArt" models were used. In the same way, the Waifu2x cunet model was used for the Manga109 dataset, and the upconv_7 model for the rest. -

SmoothLife
A generalization of Conway's Game of Life
Conway's Game of Life is generalized to a continuous domain. OpenGL and GLSL shaders are used for real-time 2D and 3D graphics. Time stepping is done via a real to complex FFT based convolution operation. There are also two deliberately simple test implementations in FreeBasic and Matlab. A 2D version on a sphere shows that it is really not dependent on the underlying grid. -

gVirtualXRay
Virtual X-Ray Imaging Library on GPU
gVirtualXRay is a C++ library to simulate X-ray imaging. It is based on the Beer-Lambert law to compute the absorption of light (i.e. photons) by 3D objects (here polygon meshes). It is implemented on the graphics processing unit (GPU) using the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL). SimpleGVXR is a smaller library build on the top of gVirtualXRay. It provides wrappers to Python, R, Ruby, Tcl, C#, Java, and GNU Octave. -

Minecraft Shaders GLWSP
Lightweight Shaders for Intel HD Graphics - (Chocapic13' Shaders edit)
A Minecraft shader pack designed for low-end Intel HD Graphics and older 2/4 core CPU's. It is a Chocapic13' Shaders edit. The shader pack is very minimal and compliments vanilla nicely while adding just enough to be beautiful. Based off of Chocopic's shaders and designed to be even faster and more optimised than other low-end shader packs. Works on 1.19.2 and in the nether. No crashes observed and also works in both Optifine and Fabric/Sodium. Note: Please turn OFF entity shadows, I do not support this. Gives 60fps at 8 chunks on my Thinkpad X260. -

Offroad
Vehicle simulation with freedom of movement on large map (5x5km).
Simple Linux game inspired by Terep2 and 1nsane written in C++ using SDL library based on my own physics engine (spring systems and rigid body dynamic simulation). Offroad Engine was part of my bachelor thesis at Czech Technical University in year 2006. This is updated version from 2008 with improved graphics and sounds. Game map was originally imported from OpenTTD (that's why roads are so perpendicular) but now I decided to start working on this project again and to add support for maps from my World Editor app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YOlTLTLCwU
