This package provides a header only C++11 glTF (GL Transmission Format) 2.0 library.

GL Transmission Format (glTF) is a royalty-free specification for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models by applications. glTF minimizes both the size of 3D assets, and the runtime processing needed to unpack and use those assets. glTF defines an extensible, common publishing format for 3D content tools and services that streamlines authoring workflows and enables interoperable use of content across the industry.

Discregrid is a C++ library for the parallel discretization of (preferably smooth) functions on regular grids. It generates a (cubic) polynomial discretization given a box-shaped domain, a grid resolution, and a 3D scalar field. The library can also serialize and deserialize the generated discrete grid, and compute and discretize the signed distance field corresponding to a triangle mesh. The following programs are included with Discregrid:

• GenerateSDF: Computes a discrete (cubic) signed distance field from a triangle mesh in OBJ format.

• DiscreteFieldToBitmap: Generates an image in bitmap format of a two-dimensional slice of a previously computed discretization.

• GenerateDensityMap: Generates a density map from a previously generated discrete signed distance field using the cubic spline kernel.

• Social media: Animated posts and stories

• Presentations: Animated infographics and slideshows

Anti-Grain Geometry is a high quality rendering engine written in C++. It supports sub-pixel resolutions and anti-aliasing. It is also a library for rendering SVG.

The pstoedit utility allows translating graphics in the PostScript or PDF (Portable Document Format) formats to various other vector formats such as:

• Tgif (.obj)

• gnuplot

• xfig (.fig)

• Flattened PostScript

• DXF, a CAD (Computed-Aided Design) exchange format

• PIC (for troff/groff)

• MetaPost (for usage with TeX/LaTeX)

• LaTeX2e picture

• GNU Metafile (for use with plotutils/libplot)

• Any format supported by ImageMagick

Coin is a 3D graphics library with an Application Programming Interface based on the Open Inventor 2.1 API. For those who are not familiar with Open Inventor, it is a scene-graph based retain-mode rendering and model interaction library, written in C++, which has become the de facto standard graphics library for 3D visualization and visual simulation software in the scientific and engineering community.

AzPainter is a lightweight full color painting application for editing illustrations and images.

• Many artistic filters

• Good range of selection tools

• Pen pressure support with automatic brush size adjustment

• Support for 16-bit color images with transparency (RGBA)

• Support for image formats like PSD, PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WebP

ASLI (A Simple Lattice Infiller) is a command-line tool that allows users to fill any 3D geometry with a functionally graded lattice. The lattice infill is constructed out of unit cells, described by implicit functions, whose type, size and feature can be varied locally to obtain the desired local properties.

MMM is a shared memory protocol for virtualising access to framebuffer graphics, audio output and input event.

Imath is a C++ representation of 2D and 3D vectors and matrices and other mathematical objects, functions, and data types common in computer graphics applications, including the "half" 16-bit floating-point type.

Alembic is a computer graphics interchange framework. It distills complex, animated scenes into a set of baked geometric results.

Embree is a collection of high-performance ray tracing kernels. Embree is meant to increase performance of photo-realistic rendering applications.

The Open Asset Import Library loads more than 40 3D file formats into one unified data structure. Additionally, assimp features various mesh post processing tools: normals and tangent space generation, triangulation, vertex cache locality optimization, removal of degenerate primitives and duplicate vertices, sorting by primitive type, merging of redundant materials and many more.

OpenCSG is a library for rendering Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) using OpenGL. CSG is an approach for modeling complex 3D-shapes using simpler ones. For example, two shapes can be combined by uniting them, by intersecting them, or by subtracting one shape from the other.

IlmBase provides several utility libraries for C++. Half is a class that encapsulates ILM's 16-bit floating-point format. IlmThread is a thread abstraction. Imath implements 2D and 3D vectors, 3x3 and 4x4 matrices, quaternions and other useful 2D and 3D math functions. Iex is an exception-handling library.

OpenEXR provides the specification and reference implementation of the EXR file format. The purpose of EXR format is to accurately and efficiently represent high-dynamic-range scene-linear image data and associated metadata, with strong support for multi-part, multi-channel use cases.
