Open Source Lua Graphics Software

The PoDoFo library is a free, portable C++ library. It can parse and modify existing PDF files and create new ones from scratch. It also includes several tools to work with PDF files. It features an unique approach which provides access to PDF documents via an object tree. Therefore, PDFs can be created and or manipulated using a simple tree structure. Development of PoDoFo has been moved to GitHub: https://github.com/podofo/podofo Please raise new issues in the GitHub project.

APOCALYX is a 3D engine based on OpenGL and other free libraries suitable for the creation of games or serious simulations.

IM is a toolkit for Digital Imaging. IM is based on 4 concepts: Image Representation, Storage, Processing and Capture. The main goal of the library is to provide a simple API and abstraction of images for scientific applications.

!!! The project repositories have been migrated to https://github.com/urho3d/Urho3D !!!

Riko4 is a fantasy console designed as a tool for pixel art game development. It provides a virtual environment for creating and running games, emulating the constraints and aesthetics of retro gaming systems.

groverburger's 3D engine (g3d) simplifies LÖVE's 3d capabilities to be as simple to use as possible.

CD (Canvas Draw) is a platform-independent graphics library. It is implemented in several platforms using native graphics libraries: Windows (GDI) and X-Windows (XLIB). The canvas is an abstract surface that can be a window, an image or a metafile.

Ayam is a free 3D modelling environment for the RenderMan interface.

PS_View is a PostScript and PDF previewer. It is multiplatform (Windows, Linux and Mac OS X), GUI program based on the Ghostscript engine. Key features include huge magnification, fast viewing of large documents, exact measuring, and restart.

CrackArt is an open source 3D modeling and texturing application. CrackArt is object oriented and features a flexible plug-in architecture. CrackArt is part of The SceneEngine Project, a 3D Production Solution.

Lua-GD is an image manipulation library for the Lua Programming Language, based on Thomas Boutell's GD library. Lua-GD is free software distributed under MIT License.

LuaGL is a library that provides access to all of the OpenGL funcionality from Lua script language.

XreaL is a heavily improved Quake 3 Arena engine. It's bundled with new tools and a demo game that was never finished. ET:XreaL is a subproject bringing all XreaL enhancements to Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.

Doris is a Lua script driven OpenGL viewer with GUI widget extensions. Lua is a fast, powerful, portable scripting language. Lua bindings are provided to OpenGL, GLUT, GLUI (a GL widget library) and Luasocket (networking).

NaN3D is a real-time 3d software rendering engine for the C++ programming language. This project is relased under the LGPL License.

A open dynamic 3d game engine based around Ogre3d, Ageia PhysX, OpenAL, scriptable in the LUA language. The FPS demo game Monkeys in the Dark presenting the engine power with use of deferred shading, normal mapping and the new technic of dynamic sound.

The ZFX-Comunity-Engine is a realtime 3D engine developed from the members of the ZFX-Community. It supports different render-APIs like D3D and OpenGL aud works on differents platforms like Windows, Linux, BSD and others.

CorEngine is a work in progress, OpenGL graphics powered 3D game engine designed to help independent game developers with quick prototyping and game/virtual environment creation. The engine supports a standard set of features, like skeletal animation, post processing, Lua/C programming, physics powered by Bullet Physics, GUI and 2D/3D Audio.

Make sure to visit the Home Page: (http://enigmaeditor.sourceforge.net/) Enigma Game Level Editor (Egle) is a project to create a level editor for the Enigma game (http://www.nongnu.org/enigma/about.html). Enigma Game Level Editor is made in the Java programming language using the NetBeans IDE.

A cross-platform multimedia library aimed at supporting a wide range of programming languages. It exposes a set of C APIs used to generate high-level object-oriented bindings for supported languages at compile-time.

NyuFX is an advanced tool for creating karaoke effects in subtitle format ASS. With the power of scripting language Lua with an extended environment + an user interface it's easy to create fancy 2D effects.

An open-source project to develop a free, modern and sophisticated plant generation tool. This tool will feature an easy to use interface, and will be scalable, able to produce a large batch of similar plants simultaneously. The project is current just starting - I'm laying down some basic code to generate a tree skeleton, then using that skeleton to create an "envelope" mesh. Then I plan on adding features in subsequent releases. Then I'll probably end up rewriting all of the code and writing some documentation at the point where I have a good basic feature set. I will release new alphas every few weeks, containing source code and OS-specific binaries, unless I put development on hold for a while (see below). Project is currently ACTIVE. However, the next release is a complete remake of the existing code, so won't be around for a while. Please make sure you view the latest screenshots (slide to the right on the screenshot bar)!

Particle Toy is an Lua extended particle system simulation system. It is implemented in C/C++ and algorithms are scripted in Lua. A patterned version of Particle File, which was implemented by famous Seumas McNally, is provided as an example.

An image processing application based on a scripting language: now LUA (LIP subproject). Some native function are built-in, and some use other projects (FreeImage and FreeType).

Adds a cartoon like subtle effect on your scanned drawing. It does this by doing a 4 pass run over the image. It is mostly useful for color pencil drawings. Using Lua like programming tool "hollywood": http://www.hollywood-mal.com/
