OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine)

ogre

OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) is a scene-oriented, flexible 3D engine written in C++ designed to make it easier and more intuitive for developers to produce applications utilising hardware-accelerated 3D graphics. The class library abstracts all the details of using the underlying system libraries like Direct3D and OpenGL and provides an interface based on world objects and other intuitive classes.

Wings 3D

wings

Wings 3D is an advanced subdivision modeler that is both powerful and easy to use.

Originally inspired by Nendo and Mirai from Izware, Wings 3D has been developed since 2001, when Björn Gustavsson (bjorng) and Dan Gudmundsson (dgud) first started the project. Richard Jones (optigon) maintained Wings and coded many new features between 2006 and 2011. Wings 3D is currently maintained by Dan and Richard with the help of the great community.

Wings 3D offers a wide range of modeling tools, a customizable interface, support for lights and materials, and a built-in AutoUV mapping facility.

NIF File Format Library and Tools

nif

NifTools aims to provide users with Tools to View, Edit, Create and Visualise 3D Models stored in the NetImmerse File Format.

The NIF format is used by many popular games based on the NetImmerse/Gamebryo Game Engine such as Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim.

We are creating a unified description of the NIF file format allowing our contributors to build tools and utilities, to facilitate user created content.

The tools will allow users to:
– View/Edit/Visualise the data of a NIF model.
– Libraries to Read/Write the NIF Format.
– Import/Export NIF models into various 3D package via Plug-ins.
– Custom content creation for NetImmerse/Gamebryo Games.
