Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Seriously WTF C++?
There are quite a lot actually, even if we ignore engines and frameworks (though some of them are quite low level). Some of the biggest are Silk.NET, Vortice.Windows, SharpDX (the last one is dead but it still should work well).

What's the fastest way to get pixel data from a Bitmap?
In C#, that means you'll need something like Vortice.Windows or Silk.NET. If you just want WIC (and not a bunch of DirectX stuff, there's also a plain old WIC interop library. And if you don't mind a well-tested, yet end-of-life library, there's SharpDX.

3D Graphics Component
These days, you're better off with Vortice.Windows or Silk.NET.

DirectX in NativeAOT
For those looking for an alternative to SharpDX, Vortice.Windows is an option.

How do you manipulate individual pixels in C#?
Microsoft has refused to support it. There have been community-made managed wrappers for DirectX, but SlimDX died years ago and SharpDX was abruptly abandoned and its github archived in early 2019. There's a new one called Vortice that seems to be trying to pick up where SharpDX left off.

Is there a real time graphics llibrary in c#
A couple other options than what has been suggested so far: - TerraFX.Interop.Windows. Raw, blittable, 1:1 bindings for all Win32, D2D/D3D11/D3D12 APIs (there's also a version with Vulkan bindings). As close to doing #include as you can get in C#. This is my personal favorite, I use it in my own ComputeSharp library, and transitively we use it in the Microsoft Store too 🙂 - Silk.NET another version of high-performance bindings, more opinionated than TerraFX and with some additional helpers to make it a bit easier to use.

Math Game Project
Here is an example of using "releases" in GitHub: https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET/releases. Most repositories use releases and releases seem like they wpuld be appropriate for your repository too.

Is there a way to display 3D models on a page?
I've been looking at this. Is this similar to the UrhoSharp project you talk about? https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET

SDL2 + OpenGL in C#?
Have you looked at Silk.NET before?
-
Using .NET with low level rendering code?
Take a look at https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET . You should be able to use your existing rendering context with it. So you could use something like imgui (They have bindings for that) to render your UI. Or if you just start writing your rendering code, you could consider writing the whole rendering engine with it. I used it in the past for a game engine and performance is no problem for most of the usecases.
- Anybody using System.Numerics for 3D graphic applications?
- Cross-platform audio playback
- C# Game engine - suggestions

Why is every graphics API C# wrapper I find deprecated?
If you want something more ".NET like", check out Silk.NET instead. It's also community maintained and in the .NET Foundation, but does name remappings, friendly API overloads, and other things that make it feel more ".NET like": https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET
What are some alternatives?
SharpDX
OpenTK - The Open Toolkit library is a fast, low-level C# wrapper for OpenGL, OpenAL & OpenCL. It also includes windowing, mouse, keyboard and joystick input and a robust and fast math library, giving you everything you need to write your own renderer or game engine. OpenTK can be used standalone or inside a GUI on Windows, Linux, Mac.
DirectN - Direct interop Code for .NET Framework, .NET Core and .NET 5+ : DXGI, WIC, DirectX 9 to 12, Direct2D, Direct Write, Direct Composition, Media Foundation, WASAPI, CodecAPI, GDI, Spatial Audio, DVD, Windows Media Player, UWP DXInterop, WinUI3, etc.
Veldrid - A low-level, portable graphics library for .NET.
SlimDX - Automatically exported from code.google.com/p/slimdx
TerraFX - A framework for developing multimedia-based applications.
Interactive Data Display for WPF - Interactive Data Display for WPF is a set of controls for adding interactive visualization of dynamic data to your application. It allows to create line graphs, bubble charts, heat maps and other complex 2D plots which are very common in scientific software. Interactive Data Display for WPF integrates well with Bing Maps control to show data on a geographic map in latitude/longitude coordinates. The controls can also be operated programmatically.
Win2D - Win2D is an easy-to-use Windows Runtime API for immediate mode 2D graphics rendering with GPU acceleration. It is available to C#, C++ and VB developers writing apps for the Windows Universal Platform (UWP). It utilizes the power of Direct2D, and integrates seamlessly with XAML and CoreWindow.
DeBroglie - DeBroglie is a C# library implementing the Wave Function Collapse algorithm with support for additional non-local constraints, and other useful features.
Helix Toolkit - Helix Toolkit is a collection of 3D components for .NET.
