BRL-CAD is a powerful cross-platform constructive solid geometry solid modeling system that includes an interactive geometry editor, ray-tracing for rendering & geometric analyses, network distributed framebuffer support, image & signal-processing tools.

OpenGLChecker is a fast and smooth program that retrieves relevant information about your OpenGL implementation. It can also test your computer's performance with fully scripted benchmarks. This allows you to write your own benchmark scripts for testing your OpenGL performance.

Equalizer is the standard middleware to create parallel OpenGL-based applications. Please visit https://github.com/Eyescale for current development information.

A real-time packet sniffer / analyzer for Dark Age of Camelot (DAoC).

Fract is a free, Open-source PC Benchmark based on realtime software rendering. It is designed to provide 100% unbiased results that really correspond to the raw performance of your CPU and system bus.

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 SVN only or Live Demo/Install CD: http://www.ventiotec.de/linux/GXSM-Linux.iso

Open Source Remote Sensing OSSIM project, pronounced "awesome", will leverage existing algorithms/tools/packages from the open source community in construction of the ultimate Remote Sensing/Image Processing/GIS package. osgPlanet extends OSSIM and Op

mCode is designed to be a dynamic 3d platform for simulation and visualization, with a focus on visual networking.

Powerful platform for creating networked multiplayer 3D games. The system includes specifications for a client engine and 2 protocols. Demo apps: mud/moo proxy, tetris. Currently uses OpenGL, VRML, java, tcl. Client/server architecture for security.

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

FlowVR is an open source middleware tailored for high performance in situ data processing and analytics running on large parallel machines

A small SDL application using OpenGL to test the compatability of Shader Model 3 on nVidia GTX 470

Gphoton is a simple 3d modeler and ray tracer. If you're looking for the best 3d modeler or best ray tracer, this isn't it. If you want to easily make some simple 3D primitives and see multiple reflections or dink with ray trace code, you might find this fun, read on. In 2nd grade we had a sub who taught us to draw 2pt perspective - life was never the same. My dad's drafting book taught that and 3pt persp. In art I was awed by Durer and the mirror in Van Eyke's Wedding. In the 70s-80s I was trying to do 3D on early computers - big BW pixels! By late 80s I saw ray tracing and had to write my own. I wrote the 1st ver while taking vector calculus and CAD programming classes c. '92. I was intrigued not only by the beauty of the math but also ray tracing curved metals. This is actually the 2nd ver, ported from MFC to gnome (with enhancements like optional GL) c. '00 with some help from David. Apr'17: Updated to compile on recent Ubuntu/Debian - still runs, even on a pi!

Open ActiveWrl is a software development toolkit based on a generic software development approach that allows the implementation of parallel immersive VRML/X3D browsers on heterogenous cluster systems. It supports systems running Win NT/2000/XP and Linux

Openmark will be a Open Source benchmark that will have 32/64 bit options for video rendering tests on X11 as well as HD speed, FSB, etc benchmarks. Also many tools like: temp monitor, speed control, etc.

The Parallel Compositing library enables developers to write scalable 3D graphics applications. The library does sort-last compositing, and works on both clusters and SMP machines. The API aims to be the MPI of parallel compositing.

Shade is an Object-Oriented, Shader-based, Distributed Scene Graph. Designed using C++ (with optional Lua bindings), OpenGL, and MPI, Shade allows the creation of applications that work on a single machine and on a tiled display.

StereoGL will provide a uniform interface for stereo 3D displays under OpenGL, supporting as many hardware devices as possible. It will also include utility functions such as calculation of left/right viewing transforms.

The Black Legacy is an MMORPG develop under linux ,but also works on Windows system,We are using OpenGL and SDL to make a 3D fantasy Sci Fi game

The Zenipex Library is a game development framework, created with the goal of allowing someone with some knowledge of C++ to create 3D games for platforms including Windows, MacOS X, and Linux. OpenGL and Direct3D 9 are both supported.

glean is a set of tools to test and compare performance, features, and image quality of OpenGL implementations on one or more graphics cards.

vNET (Visual Network Exploration Tool) is a C++ program aiming at making administration and visualization of networks easier by displaying a synthetic vision of network related informations in 3D.

vuVolume is a framework for volume rendering algorithms in C++. When creating a new rendering method in vuVolume it is possible to just concentrate on the actual algorithm and let the framework take care of the more administrative tasks.
