Open Source C 3D Viewers

LPub3D is an Open Source WYSIWYG editing application for creating LEGO® style digital building instructions. LPub3D is developed and maintained by Trevor SANDY. It uses the LDraw™ parts library, the most comprehensive library of digital Open Source LEGO® bricks available (www.ldraw.org/ ) and reads the LDraw LDR and MPD model file formats. LPub3D is available for free under the GNU Public License v3 and runs on Windows, Linux and macOS Operating Systems. LPub3D is also available as a Linux 'no-install', multi-platform AppImage. Portions of LPub3D are based on LPUB© 2007-2009 Kevin Clague, LeoCAD© 2025 Leonardo Zide, LDView© 2025 Travis Cobbs & Peter Bartfai and additional third party components.

What can this do? Generte 3D Terrain Procedrally Export Terrain mesh as OBJ You can write and test your own shaders An Inbuilt IDE for shaders Test under different lighting A 3D viewer A Node based as well as Layer based workflow Save the project(custom .terr3d files) Hieght map visualizer in node editor Wireframe mode Custom Lighiting Customizable Geometry Shaders included in rendering pipeline Skyboxes Multithreded Mesh Generation Expected Goals for Version 3 Add a lot more Nodes Export to heightmaps(both PNG and also custom format) Node based procedural texture editing Custom Skyboxes Completely usable 3D procedural modelling and texturing pipeline Fix as many bugs I can find Things that may be added Wren scripting to add custom algotrithms Procedural grass and foliage Fix more bugs!

GLTF/GLB Windows Shell Extension: This shell extension automatically adds thumbnail images to .glb files in Windows File Explorer and provides a right click menu option to generate a 3D preview image for .gltf files. Supports multi-file select and directory processing. Pre-built Windows x64 installer available at https://buymeacoffee.com/nathancrews/e/255640 LAS/LAZ Pointcloud Windows Shell Extension: This "quick viewer" shell extension provides a Windows File Explorer right click menu option to quickly generate 3D preview images for large and small .las and .laz files. (Disclaimer: Processing time depends on compute hardware) Typical processing time for 100mb .las is about 2 seconds. 25mb .laz file process in about the same times. Files are processed in parallel using available CPU cores. Pre-built Windows x64 installer available at https://buymeacoffee.com/nathancrews/e/255641

Create phyiscal simulations easily through IPSA which combines the OpenInventor 3D API with the Open Dynamics Engine (ODE). Scenes are read from .iv files and simulated in the supplied viewer applications. Find it at: http://ipsa.sourceforge.net

Quantum Mechanical Toolkit And 3D Viewer for C++. Allows Data Visualisation via Images, Surfaces and Volume plots using OpenGL, as well as rapid development Quantum Mechanical Simulations. Uses the Blitz++, VTK Visualisation and Qt Libraries.

A 3D viewer for molecular charge distributions. Implemented in OpenGL with GLUT. Includes a small OpenGL windowing library/widget set.
