Open Source Python 3D Rendering Software for BSD

K-3D is the free (as in freedom) 3d modeling, animation, and rendering system.

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/

landshade is a C++ library for quick tesselation of complex 3D data like terrain and other curves surfaces at different levels of detail on modern graphics hardware.

PyOpenGL is the binding layer between Python and OpenGL.

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

Free 3D Acropolis is a model 3D in hight resolution of the Acropolis of Athens shortly after its construction.

Crystal Space is an Open Source 3D SDK for Unix, Windows, and MacOS/X. It renders with OpenGL and features GLSL shaders, CG shaders, deferred rendering, dynamic shadows, bullet based physics library, terrain engine, skeleton based animation meshes, exporter for Blender, portals, etc...

UPDATE: Chromium is no longer updated or maintained.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.

This project is not currently being supported but feel free to use it as an example. delta3d is a robust simulation platform built using open standards and open source software. It features full toolchain development supporting a wide variety of free and commercial software.

MayaVi is a free, cross platform, easy to use scientific data visualizer. It provides a GUI to ease the visualization process, is written in Python and uses the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) for the graphics.

This project is no longer active. See vpython.org.

SOLARIS is a graphic adventure created and developing by Blender. The game takes place in the Solaris space station, as is described in the book "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem and Tarkovsky's film.

PyPLIB provides Python bindings to PLIB's Simple Scene Graph and Geometry libraries. Requires Python 2.1+ and Boost 1.27.0.

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/

This project simulates a multi-agent system (swarm) behavior both graphically and not. The purpose of this project is to research the properties suggested in "stability analysis of swarms" V.Gazi & K.M.Passino. Using the vpython library for 3D modeling

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.

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.

Dynamically loadable modules for TclTk, Perl, Python to ease the task of building custom 3D modellers and rendering engines.

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

Yet another ray-tracer. Mixing Python, CUDA and a specialized compact SDL (Scene Description Language).

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

Python based application to render in background Blender projects (still images or animation). It provides also a server for remote control such as checking the render status or cancel/submit new jobs. Msi available for windows.
