  • blender

    Official mirror of Blender

    Project mention: I fully support this. | /r/KerbalSpaceProgram | 2023-06-24

    Please try looking through some large open source projects and contributing major contributions by familiarizing yourself with the code base, learning multiple programming languages, and not having major bugs in your code. I'd imagine you wouldn't want to do this.

  • cglm

    📽 Highly Optimized Graphics Math (glm) for C

    Project mention: converting a vec4 into a mat4 | /r/opengl | 2023-03-02

    It's too bad you are using C. If you were using C++, you could use teh fantastic GLM library, which implements the vector math stuff from GLSL as CPU/C++ code. you might want to have a look at CLGM: https://github.com/recp/cglm

  • InfluxDB

    Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time. Manage all types of time series data in a single, purpose-built database. Run at any scale in any environment in the cloud, on-premises, or at the edge.

  • cgltf

    :diamond_shape_with_a_dot_inside: Single-file glTF 2.0 loader and writer written in C99

    Project mention: Confused in terms of where to start with framework/technology etc. Need help picking between learning ShaderToy v/s OpenGL v/s WebGL | /r/GraphicsProgramming | 2023-06-20

    If you want to go all the way, https://learnopengl.com/ is a favorite around here. You could build a glTF viewer from scratch starting from that tutorial and https://github.com/jkuhlmann/cgltf and eventually building towards https://google.github.io/filament/Filament.html or whatever wacky artsy direction you like.

  • PortableGL

    An implementation of OpenGL 3.x-ish in clean C

  • thirdroom

    Open, decentralised, immersive worlds built on Matrix

    Project mention: is there a 3D metaverse, of the fediverse? | /r/fediverse | 2023-06-07

    Not sure if Mozilla Hubs federates, but as already said, ThirdRoom is Matrix VRchat thing.

  • exengine

    A C99 3D game engine

  • cgl

    CGL (C Game Library) is a multipurpose library mainly for recreational coding / demo scenes / prototyping / small games / experimentation.

    Project mention: cgl-rs: Rust OpenGL base library + creative coding + gamedev utilities | /r/opengl | 2023-08-05

  • nxdk

    The cross-platform, open-source SDK to develop for original Xbox: *new* xdk

    Project mention: PCSX2 is an open source PS2 Emulator | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-12

    In addition to what tehbeard mentioned, Xemu at least (which is what i have experience with as i used it to do some homebrew development[0] with the open source nxdk[1] SDK) is far from accurate and largely just a means for playing OG Xbox games on modern hardware. However the GPU emulation does not take into account NV2A's performance at all and simply translates the calls to OpenGL (despite the "DirectXbox" name, the GPU is actually designed around OpenGL :-P) so it is much faster than the real one and depending on what is going on the CPU performance can also be quite faster. IIRC it doesn't even emulate the real CPU the OG Xbox has as you can accidentally use instructions in Xemu not available on the real hardware.

    Of course if your goal is to just have games from OG Xbox playable on a PC that is fine (if anything for most games it is an improvement as they'd run smoother) but if you want cycle accurate emulation it doesn't fit the bill. In that case basing the emulator on something like 86box might be better as that has been designed with the goal of achieving cycle accurate PC hardware emulation.

  • TermGL

    2D & 3D graphics engine in the terminal [C/C++]

  • php-glfw

    🪐A fully-featured OpenGL and GLFW extension for PHP. 🔋Batteries included (Math Functions, Texture Loaders, etc..)

    Project mention: Create 3D models using PHP | /r/PHP | 2023-06-06

    Hey u/Rikudou_Sage im plugging this too much, but im extremely exited about everything graphical in PHP. You could add an actual rendering backend for realtime previews or even a basic editor, if your interested: https://github.com/mario-deluna/php-glfw

  • grvk

    Vulkan-based Mantle API implementation

    Project mention: Amernime Zone released AMD Drivers 22.12.1 that is locked for RDNA 3... Yet it successfully installed in my 3400G | /r/Amd | 2022-12-15
  • AttinyStreamGfxApi

  • tremulous

    Project mention: What is your favourite open source game(s)? | /r/linux_gaming | 2023-07-06

    Seem like the old client still get third party update: https://github.com/GrangerHub/tremulous

  • OrbVis

    Realtime Satellite Orbit Visualizer

    Project mention: Year four of the Icculus Microgrant starts today! Funding open source projects, $250 at a time. Want your project considered? Link it in the comments, please! | /r/programming | 2022-12-29

    There are tens of thousands of satellites in orbit around earth, and I made a program to visualize them. While this isn't an original idea, I have yet to find a more feature-rich and performant satellite visualizer. It is in a relatively finished state, although I'd like to add a few features in the future, and the terrible makefile could use some rewriting as well. Here's the link: https://github.com/wojciech-graj/OrbVis

  • BlobEditor

    A simple webassembly project using raylib

    Project mention: My generative blob editor. Now it works in your browser. Link in comments. | /r/generative | 2022-11-04
