DXVK
Vulkan-based implementation of D3D9, D3D10 and D3D11 for Linux / Wine
DXVK is a Vulkan-based translation layer for Direct3D 9 through 11, for use on Linux with Wine. Direct3D is a graphics application programming interface built for Windows and is used for rendering three-dimensional graphics in applications. It is typically useful in applications where performance is vital, such as in three-dimensional games. This project aims to provide support for Direct3D11, feature level 11_1, and Direct3D10, feature level 10_1. Currently however, there are still a few unsupported features, such as shared resources, predication, class linkage and target-independent rasterization. To get the best results out of this project, it is recommended that you use an esync-enabled Wine build to reduce CPU overhead in some games, and to disable desktop effects on your compositor, as this can cause stuttering issues when games are GPU-bound. -

Jmol
An interactive viewer for three-dimensional chemical structures.
Over 1,000,000 page views per month. Jmol/JSmol is a molecular viewer for 3D chemical structures that runs in four independent modes: an HTML5-only web application utilizing jQuery, a Java applet, a stand-alone Java program (Jmol.jar), and a "headless" server-side component (JmolData.jar). Jmol can read many file types, including PDB, CIF, SDF, MOL, PyMOL PSE files, and Spartan files, as well as output from Gaussian, GAMESS, MOPAC, VASP, CRYSTAL, CASTEP, QuantumEspresso, VMD, and many other quantum chemistry programs. Files can be transferred directly from several databases, including RCSB, EDS, NCI, PubChem, and MaterialsProject. Multiple files can be loaded and compared. A rich scripting language and a well-developed web API allow easy customization of the user interface. Features include interactive animation and linear morphing. Jmol interfaces well with JSpecView for spectroscopy, JSME for 2D->3D conversion, POV-Ray for images, and CAD programs for 3D printing (VRML export). -

three.js
JavaScript 3D library
three.js is a lightweight and easy-to-use JavaScript 3D library with its own default WebGL renderer. It works by creating a scene with a camera and a geometric cube, the latter of which is added to the scene. This will become the animated object within the scene. A WebGL renderer is created for the scene and the camera, with an added viewport to the document.body element. Finally, the cube is animated within the scene for the camera. A plethora of examples can be found in the project’s website (https://threejs.org/) which use Canvas 2D, SVG and CSS3D renderers that the library also provides. -

MESHROOM
3D reconstruction software
Photogrammetry is the science of making measurements from photographs. It infers the geometry of a scene from a set of unordered photographies or videos. Photography is the projection of a 3D scene onto a 2D plane, losing depth information. The goal of photogrammetry is to reverse this process. The dense modeling of the scene is the result yielded by chaining two computer vision-based pipelines, “Structure-from-Motion” (SfM) and “Multi View Stereo” (MVS). Fusion of Multi-bracketing LDR images into HDR. Alignment of panorama images. Support for fisheye optics. Automatically estimate fisheye circle or manually edit it. Take advantage of motorized-head file. Easy to integrate in your Renderfarm System. Add specific rules to select the most suitable machines regarding CPU, RAM, GPU requirements of each Node. -

UE Viewer
Viewer and exporter for Unreal Engine 1-4 assets
Unreal Engine resource viewer (formerly Unreal Model Viewer) is a program for viewing and extracting resources from various games made with Unreal Engine. Sometimes the program is referenced as "umodel", the short of "unreal" and "model viewer". The project was originally named the "Unreal model viewer", however, the name was changed in 2011 to meet the request from Epic Games. Please note that the "official" project's name is "UE Viewer", and a short unofficial name of the project is "model" (it was left from the older name "Unreal MODEL viewer"). UE Viewer is a viewer for visual resources of games made with Unreal engine. Currently, all engine versions (from 1 to 4) are supported. We are using our own build system to compile UE Viewer. You may find a Perl script in Tools/genmake. This script generates makefiles from some human-friendly project format. After that you may build generated makefile using 'nmake' for Visual Studio or 'make' for gcc. -

Radiance
Highly accurate ray-tracing software system for UNIX computers
Radiance is a free, highly accurate ray-tracing software system for UNIX computers. It is a suite of programs designed for the analysis and visualization of lighting in design. Radiance is superior to simpler lighting calculation and rendering tools in that there are no limitations on the geometry or the materials that may be simulated. Scene geometry, materials, luminaires, time, date and sky conditions (for daylight calculations) are specified; spectral radiance (ie. luminance + color), irradiance (illuminance + color) and glare indices are calculated. Simulation results may be displayed as color images, numerical values and contour plots. Radiance is useful for architects and engineers in predicting illumination, visual quality and appearance of innovative design spaces; and for researchers in evaluating new lighting and daylighting technologies. -
