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).

Sculpt Mesh is a 3D tool for sculpting mesh as if it were clay, It provides some of the basic functionality of ZBrush (TM), giving unprecedented artistic freedom, allowing artists to rapidly achieve quality and interesting results with free tools.

The purpose of this projects is to define, design and code a models-sharing system for the RepRap replication machines, so that end-users and designers can easily find, create, modify or build objects models.

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/

The Anvil is setting out to produce one strong platform for all media. Fluid work with major audio, video, raster/vector images, 3D formats and scripting languages will allow us to start from anywhere and temper out the masterpeice we needed.

TreeGen consists in a platform indipendent Python script which should work as a plugin for Blender. Thanks to the graphical interface, it aims to create random trees and forests in a simple and alternative way to L-System.

A Maya plugin-in which allows you to bake particle instances into geometry, animation, and blendshapes that can be modified and updated without messing around with dynamics and expressions.

A lightweight and powerful python module for scientific analysis and visualization of 3d objects. Inspired by the vpython manifesto "3D programming for ordinary mortals", vedo makes it easy to work with 3D pointclouds, meshes and volumes, in just a few lines of code, even for less experienced programmers. vedo is based on VTK and numpy, with no other dependencies. Import meshes from VTK format, STL, Wavefront OBJ, 3DS, Dolfin-XML, Neutral, GMSH, OFF, PCD (PointCloud). Export meshes as ASCII or binary to VTK, STL, OBJ, PLY formats. Analysis tools like Moving Least Squares, mesh morphing and more. Tools to visualize and edit meshes (cutting a mesh with another mesh, slicing, normalizing, moving vertex positions, etc..). Split mesh based on surface connectivity. Extract the largest connected area. Calculate areas, volumes, center of mass, average sizes etc. Calculate vertex and face normals, curvatures, feature edges. Fill mesh holes.

3D modeller and animator program.

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.

Build a 3D surface model out of several digital pictures taken of an object.

Blender Python users contributed external scripts repo/collection. Please check svn for files. Addons are almost kept up to date with current Blender svn for bugs please contact the script owner.

Python scripts for importing and exporting OpenFlight files to and from Blender. OpenFlight is the native format of Creator, a 3D modelling package from MultiGen-Paradigm Inc. with a feature set that focuses on the real-time needs of the vis sim industry.

bpyNorma is a Blender plugin (written in Python) which creates normal maps (similar to NVidia's Melody and ATI's Normal Mapper).

A python wrapper for Houdini to make it easier to code from an external IDE.

freetsx - free plug-ins, shaders and tools for trueSpace (3D modeling-animating software by Caligari).

gSculpt is an open source procedural 3D modelling application with a comprehensive set of polygon mesh editing tools.

Implemented classes of 3d objects: * Vector * Point * Line * Plane * LineSegment Yet incompletely implemented classes: * Triangle * Disk (closed circle) * Union (a collection of 3d objects) Each object has methods for finding its sizes, containing box or containing sphere. It finds intersection and distance or closest to another object part of itself. It also can tell if it contains the other object or is it contained by that. Where appropriate, it's easy to check orthogonality and parallelism. Vectors are sub-typed from numpy ndarray class. Extensive unit tests are included. Test coverage exceeds 95%. See documentation of the library internals in section Files ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/geometry3d/files/ ).

The myMultiverse Source Forge project is aimed at developing open source integration tools for Virtual World Building. The main integration will be between Second Life, Sketch Up and the Multiverse Game Platform.

Nodepad is an agile environment for prototyping special effects. Useful for visualizing in advance an algorithm before it gets implemented in a more complex software such as Maya, XSI, or blender.

3D Modeling application based on OpenGL for Linux, OS X and Windows.

A simple ForceFeedback implementation in Python language, designed for Linux runing games created in pyGame, Blender Game Engine or just written in Python language.

pyFormex is a program for generating, transforming and manipulating large geometrical models of 3D structures by sequences of mathematical operations.

pymesh will be a Python interface for Triangle (2D) and Tetgen (3D) mesh generators.
