Fraqtive is a multi-platform generator of the Mandelbrot family fractals. It uses very fast algorithms that support SSE2 and multi-core processors. It generates high quality anti-aliased images and renders 3D scenes using OpenGL. It allows real-time navigation and dynamic generation of the Julia fractal preview.

stl2pov reads an STL (Standard Triangulation Language) file and outputs a POVray mesh. It has been tested with STL files generated by Pro/Engineer.

gtkglextmm is a C++ wrapper for GtkGLExt, an OpenGL extension to GTK+.

Aqsis is a cross-platform 3D rendering solution adhering to the RenderMan standard defined by Pixar. Features include programmable shading, true displacements, 3D depth-of-field, motion blur, NURBS, subdivision surfaces, CSG, procedural plugins, and more.

Sh is a programming language built on top of C++. It can be used to write shaders that run on top of modern graphics processing units (GPUs), or write stream programs that run on GPUs or CPUs. It is implemented as a C++ library, and allows programs to be generated at run-time using a number of metaprogramming techniques. Variants of programs for different cases can easily be generated, or programs can be generated entirely at run-time from some input data. The system is cleanly separated into a frontend and backend, and is hence portable.

The Interreality project is a collection of Open Source, Free Software projects based on the Virtual Object System (VOS) platform. The goal is to develop a free and open platform for multi-user 3D virtual reality games, applications, and interactive, collaborative 3D virtual spaces. VOS is a powerful and generic network object framework designed to support a variety of high-performance applications. It is the basis for Ter'Angreal, a general-purpose browser application for entering and participating in 3D worlds.

OCE (OpenCascade Community Edition) is a community version of the OpenCascade Technology 3D kernel, a C++ library for 3D CAD development. It includes components for 3D surface and solid BRep modeling, visualization, data exchange (STEP, IGES), and rapid application development. OCE aims to fix bugs and improve code quality and portability.

G3DViewer is a program to display and inspect 3D models. It supports a variety of file types, including 3DMF, 3DS, B3D, COB, DXF, IOB, MD2, NFF, LWO, OBJ, PRJ, and Q3O.

Convex 3D is a convertor, extractor, and viewer for such popular 3D formats as 3DS, Wavefront OBJ, and Lightwave 3D. It is written in C++ and uses a modular design. The package includes a standalone conversion tool (console) and GUI application (Qt and OpenGL are required) for viewing and more. It is not meant to be a modeler, but it can be a powerful tool to hack into 3D files made by 3rd party modelers.

Mercator is a terrain generation and management library that handles the data required to handle terrain rendering and physics, including classes to handle vegetation.
