    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_3D_graphics_libraries

    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.

  3. Open Asset Import Library - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Asset_Import_Library

    Open Asset Import Library (Assimp) is a cross-platform 3D model import library which aims to provide a common application programming interface (API) for different 3D asset file formats. Written in C++ , it offers interfaces for both C and C++.

  4. OpenSceneGraph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSceneGraph

    OpenSceneGraph is an open-source 3D graphics application programming interface (library or framework), [2] used by application developers in fields such as visual simulation, computer games, virtual reality, scientific visualization and modeling.

  5. List of common 3D test models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_3D_test_models

    This is a list of models and meshes commonly used in 3D computer graphics for testing and demonstrating rendering algorithms and visual effects. Their use is important for comparing results, similar to the way standard test images are used in image processing .

  6. Blender (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blender_(software)

    Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set that runs on Windows, macOS, BSD, Haiku, IRIX and Linux. It is used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, and virtual reality. It is also used in creating video games.

  7. 3D computer graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_computer_graphics

    3D computer graphics rely on many of the same algorithms as 2D computer vector graphics in the wire-frame model and 2D computer raster graphics in the final rendered display. In computer graphics software, 2D applications may use 3D techniques to achieve effects such as lighting, and similarly, 3D may use some 2D rendering techniques.

  8. Z-buffering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-buffering

    Z-buffering was first described in 1974 by Wolfgang Straßer in his PhD thesis on fast algorithms for rendering occluded objects. [1] A similar solution to determining overlapping polygons is the painter's algorithm, which is capable of handling non-opaque scene elements, though at the cost of efficiency and incorrect results.

  9. Polygon mesh - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_mesh

    In 3D computer graphics and solid modeling, a polygon mesh is a collection of vertices, edge s and face s that defines the shape of a polyhedral object's surface. It simplifies rendering, as in a wire-frame model. The faces usually consist of triangles (triangle mesh), quadrilaterals (quads), or other simple convex polygons .
