Open Source Python 3D Rendering Software for Linux

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.

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/

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 github.com/pyzahl/Gxsm4 (source code) or as binary for Ubuntu on https://launchpad.net/~totto/+archive/ubuntu/gxsm

UPDATE: Chromium is no longer updated or maintained.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.

V-Ray integration to Blender

XreaL is a heavily improved Quake 3 Arena engine. It's bundled with new tools and a demo game that was never finished. ET:XreaL is a subproject bringing all XreaL enhancements to Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

BURP aims to develop a publicly distributed system for rendering 3D animations over the Internet using CPU idle time.

A collection of tools to help in the creation of 3D graphics which are to assist in and improve various areas of the production pipeline in particular the creation and management of very large scale 3D graphics scenes.

Damocles is a game engine programmed in C++.(Opengl/SDL) ||| OS:Linux / Windows ||| 3 main modules in Damocles: ||| Damocles : 3D engine |||Junior : Physic and Mathematics engine ||| Unik : Network engine (Only for Windows version for the moment)

A 3D data visualization tool, specializing in the display of robotically collected point, range, and volumetric data. Provides a very flexible framework for different file formats and visualization parameters.

Fandango, formerly and internally know as elcad. It is a python scripted 3d CAD application; the core is programmed on C++, and interface functions are exported to python to be used as building blocks for new commands.

Fast-paced multiplayer blade fighting 3D game allowing you to express your feelings on your opponents, using martial arts techniques and rapid gestures.

The Open Descent Foundation (ODF) is a community for developers, who want to help to create open source programs, tools, etc. for the famous games Descent1, -2 or -3. Everyone can join the ODF if he accepts the idea of writing open source programs.

Over is a space-based comic-like RTS game with some MMO features (persistency, commander profile, etc...) It also features customizable fleets and wings. Over is build on a completely custom engine which currently runs on linux and windows.

Write Quake 3 engine games in Python.

A small set of routines for reading of archives 3ds, support for animations , textures and collision detect, compatible with pyopengl and pygame.

QEngine is game engine which can be used to play Quake 1, Quake 2, and Quake 3 with enhanced graphics, physics, and scripting.

This software can be used for relief and normal maps calculation by 3D sculptors and designers. Reliefer can be called from Blender by means of Python script. It's a GPU-based visual computing application so requres OpenGL 2 compitable video subsystem.

The Scientific Visualization Artist Tools (SVAT) include converters from the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) to RenderMan Interface Bytestream (RIB) (ASCII and binary files supported), Blender to RenderMan, compilable RenderMan shaders and other utilities.

Togra is a high-level approach to 3D application scripting using Python and OpenGL. Rather than providing direct access to OpenGL calls, Togra allows users to script a call graph, then evaluates this call graph in C. This gives easy, fast 3D graphics.

Blender3D for the Zaurus! Blender is the open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback. Available for Windows, Linux, Irix, Sun Solaris, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and soon for the Sharp Zaurus.
