Panda3D VS moderngl

Panda3D (MIT/C++) https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d

For open source 3d engines that use Python check out Panda3D or Ursina. They're both a blast to use and let you write your codd how you want.

Panda3D: Let's you make games with c++ and python. I don't think there is an "editor" or anything like that with this engine, but it does look like there have been some decent games made with it. Could be good for smaller games. Modified BSD License.

I know a lot of people recommend Godot because it's super good but if you want a more code oriented and batteries included engine I recommend Panda3D [0] it's open source, super mature (it's actually one of the oldest continously developed game engines), and can be used form Python and C++. Not sure why it's not more popular it's flexiable and super fun to use.

Some of the game engines we have now have photogrammetry technology built-in, meaning that developers can easily integrate it into their games. This allows for even more detailed and realistic environments to be created in 3D games. The most prominent being Unreal, Unity, and Lumberyard -- including new and beginner-friendly ones like Panda3D and Yahaha. All of these game engines have photogrammetry at their core to help developers create realistic 3D models and textures quickly and efficiently.

Make sure to provide your junior developers or any new members with the resources and tools they need to succeed. This could include coding books (The Self-Taught Programmer was my favorite before), online tutorials, or access to development tools and software. There are game engines available that can be a training ground for new devs, some of the game engines I’ve tried are Panda3D, GameMaker and Godot. I’ve also tried newer engines like Yahaha, but this one is pretty easy compared to other engines so there’s really not much of a challenge. The point is, no matter what resources and tools you provide, make sure they are tailored to the skill level of your junior developers.

...and there are some samples in the source https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d/tree/master/samples

It's not my project, but https://www.panda3d.org/ is to my knowledge the next best step after Unity and Unreal game engines. Unlike those, panda is open source and available for C++ and Python.

You can see how to do it here: https://github.com/moderngl/moderngl/blob/master/examples/fragment_output.py

making an executable is an absolute pain but PySide6, DearPyGui, moderngl and much more exists

Whenever I try to run examples/loading_obj_files.py from moderngl/moderngl: Modern OpenGL binding for python (github.com) , I get this error:

Not sure what rgl supports, but there's https://github.com/moderngl/moderngl - provides Pythonic wrapper around OpenGL functions.

I'm guessing minimal overhead. The README says that it is a "simplification of a subset of ModernGL with some extras that were not possible to include in ModernGL." The documentation for ModernGL (lazy-link) talks about speed only in comparison with PyOpenGL, and says that it's faster since C++ calls are "bundled together," which I assume means that ModernGL (compared to PyOpenGL) does a little more than just wrapping - for good and bad.

I would not use Pyglet, I would use ModernOpenGL. https://github.com/moderngl/moderngl It's still OpenGL but with a more pythonic interface and way less useless boilerplate. Plus you get access to modern features by default (in fact, are required, and btw modern = more than a decade old), and I believe pyglet still relies on old immediate mode opengl.

As you can see, the new version is dramatically lower than the previous one, but it is consistent with the package's tags. The downside is that this won't trigger your AUR helper to update the package, so you'll have to do it manually. You may also want to just reinstall manim as a whole to account for the new dependency version.

I am currently trying to use a compute shader to compute 2D projection of 3D points (to create a little 3D renderer in python). I am using the moderngl library, and this is my code. So my compute shader is using 2 buffers: 1 for input and 1 for output. The input is composed of 3 vec3 (to represent the 3 3D points for a triangle), and the output will be 3 2D points. The code I showed you here is for testing, which just takes the input values and put them in the output buffer. Here is my problem:
