ascii_art - Real-Time ASCII Art Rendering Library

•    C

---

ASCII Art is a single file C/C++ library that let you transform an input image or video frame into printable ASCII characters at real-time using a single decision tree. Real-time performance is achieved by using pixel intensity comparison inside internal nodes of the tree. For a general overview on how the algorithm works, check the bottom of the demo page.

FaceWorks - A middleware library and sample application for high-quality skin and eye rendering

•    C++

---

FaceWorks is a middleware library for high-quality skin and eye rendering, inspired by the techniques used in NVIDIA's "Digital Ira" demo. Digital Ira is a tech demo, created by NVIDIA in collaboration with Dr. Paul Debevec's team at USC, in which a high-resolution head scan and performance capture are rendered as realistically as possible in real-time, using every rendering technique the demo team could think of. FaceWorks, in contrast, aims to be a reusable, production-ready library, with the goal of enabling game developers to match the rendering quality of Digital Ira.

DiligentEngine - Master repository for Diligent Engine project

•    C++

---

Diligent Engine is a lightweight cross-platform abstraction layer between the application and the platform-specific graphics API designed to take advantages of next-generation APIs such as Direct3D12 and Vulkan, while providing support for older platforms via Direct3D11, OpenGL and OpenGLES. Diligent Engine exposes common front-end for all supported platforms and provides interoperability with underlying native API. Shader source code converter allows HLSL shaders to be used on all supported platforms and rendering backends. The engine is intended to be used as a graphics subsystem in a game engine or any other 3D application, and supports integration with Unity. Diligent Engine is distributed under Apache 2.0 license and is free to use. Alternatively, you can get master repository fisrt, and then individually clone all submodules into the engine's root folder.

•    Javascript

---

Phaser is a fast, free, and fun open source HTML5 game framework that offers WebGL and Canvas rendering across desktop and mobile web browsers. Games can be compiled to iOS, Android and native apps by using 3rd party tools. You can use JavaScript or TypeScript for development. Phaser is available in two versions: Phaser 3 and Phaser CE - The Community Edition. Phaser CE is a community-lead continuation of the Phaser 2 codebase and is hosted on a separate repo. Phaser 3 is the next generation of Phaser.

ImagineEngine - A project to create a blazingly fast Swift game engine that is a joy to use 🚀

•    Swift

---

Welcome to Imagine Engine, an ongoing project that aims to create a fast, high performance Swift 2D game engine for Apple's platforms that is also a joy to use. You are hereby invited to participate in this new community to build a tool with an ambitious but clear goal - to enable you to easily build any game that you can imagine. Imagine Engine uses Core Animation as its rendering backend - just like Apple's UI frameworks like UIKit and AppKit do. By leveraging the power of Core Animation's hardware accelerated 2D rendering capabilities, Imagine Engine is able to push lots of pixels onto the screen at the same time. That means more objects, more effects and less restrictions when designing your games.

seurat - Seurat is a scene simplification technology designed to process very complex 3D scenes into a representation that renders efficiently on mobile 6DoF VR systems

•    C++

---

The processing pipeline for static environments generates data for a single headbox (e.g. 1 m³ of space). Input data can be generated with any rendering system, e.g. a real-time game engine or an offline ray tracer. We have plugins for Unity, Unreal and Maya. Seurat outputs a mesh with an RGBA texture atlas, which can be rendered in any real-time engine. Dynamic content can be composited on top of the static Seurat environments. This document primarily discusses (1) and (2) – generating the inputs to the pipeline and running it. We provide plugins for Unity and Unreal Engine to simplify steps (1) and (3), and we illustrate capture from raytracers via an Autodesk® Maya® script.

Ebook-Viewer - Modern GTK Python Ebook Reader app to easily read epub files

stage.js - 2D HTML5 rendering engine for game development

•    Javascript

---

Stage.js is a 2D HTML5 JavaScript library for cross-platform game development, it is lightweight, fast and open-source. Canvas is the graphic component of HTML5 game development, but it only has a drawing API and there is no data model like DOM to compose your application. You need to manually draw your application and manage rendering cycles to play it. Moreover, mouse events are only available at entire Canvas level and they also need to be processed manually.

herebedragons - A basic 3D scene implemented with various engines, frameworks or APIs.

•    C

---

Hic sunt dracones. This repository contains multiple implementations of the same 3D scene, using different APIs and frameworks on various platforms. The goal is to provide a comparison between multiple rendering methods. This is inherently biased due to the variety of algorithms used and available CPU/GPU configurations, but can hopefully still provide interesting insights on 3D rendering.

NSVF - Open source code for the paper of Neural Sparse Voxel Fields.

•    Python

---

Photo-realistic free-viewpoint rendering of real-world scenes using classical computer graphics techniques is a challenging problem because it requires the difficult step of capturing detailed appearance and geometry models. Neural rendering is an emerging field that employs deep neural networks to implicitly learn scene representations encapsulating both geometry and appearance from 2D observations with or without a coarse geometry. However, existing approaches in this field often show blurry renderings or suffer from slow rendering process. We propose Neural Sparse Voxel Fields (NSVF), a new neural scene representation for fast and high-quality free-viewpoint rendering. This code is implemented in PyTorch using fairseq framework.

pixi

•    Javascript

---

The aim of this project is to provide a fast lightweight 2D library that works across all devices. The PixiJS renderer allows everyone to enjoy the power of hardware acceleration without prior knowledge of WebGL. Also, it's fast. Really fast. PixiJS is a rendering library that will allow you to create rich, interactive graphics, cross platform applications, and games without having to dive into the WebGL API or deal with browser and device compatibility.
