These APIs for 3D computer graphics are particularly popular: ANGLE, web browsers graphics engine, a cross-platform translator of OpenGL ES calls to DirectX, OpenGL, or Vulkan API calls. Direct3D (a subset of DirectX) Glide a defunct 3D graphics API developed by 3dfx Interactive. Mantle developed by AMD. Metal developed by Apple.
GLScene is a free OpenGL-based library for Delphi, C++ and Free Pascal.It provides visual components and objects allowing description and rendering of 3D scenes.. Development of the original library was started in 1999 by Mike Lischke [2] and at version 0.5 the library was made Open Source and placed in the care of project administrator Eric Grange.
This page provides a list of 3D rendering software, the dedicated engines used for rendering computer-generated imagery. This is not the same as 3D modeling software , which involves the creation of 3D models, for which the software listed below can produce realistically rendered visualisations.
The plan for LuxRender 2.0 was defined during the 2013 summer and one of the major components is a new engine based on the C++ and Python APIs. The old C API suffered from many limitations when it came to modern features like dynamic scene editing and interactive rendering, so it was decided to write a completely new API instead of improving ...
Video games outsource rendering calculations to the GPU over OpenGL in real-time. Shaders are written in OpenGL Shading Language or SPIR-V and compiled on the CPU. The compiled programs are executed on the GPU. Illustration of the Linux graphics stack: DRM & libDRM, Mesa 3D. Display server belongs to the windowing system and is not necessary e ...
Game developers have also begun to adopt newer APIs. id Software, who has been using OpenGL in their games since the late 1990s in games such as GLQuake [36] or some games of the Doom franchise, [37] transitioned away to its successor Vulkan in its id Tech 7 engine in 2016. [38] They first supported Vulkan in an update for their id Tech 6 engine.
Stage3D (codenamed Molehill [1]) is an Adobe Flash Player API for rendering interactive 3D graphics with GPU-acceleration, within Flash games and applications. Flash Player or AIR applications written in ActionScript 3 may use Stage3D to render 3D graphics, [2] and such applications run natively on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Apple iOS and Google ...
Papervision3D is an open-source, 3D graphics engine for rendering 3D content within Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR. [1] Unlike modern Flash 3D engines such as Away3D and Flare3D, Papervision3D is not built for Stage3D and renders 3D content fully on the CPU without GPU-accelerated rendering.
