Open-Source Real-Time Rendering Engines and Libs – Konstantin Khomyakov – Random graphics & game programming notes

Here is a small collection of open source engines and helper libs related to real-time rendering I’ve found for self-learning purposes. No particular order, veterans of the industry mixed with hobby projects. May be useful for someone looking for graphics programming sources of inspiration :feelsgood:

Good list, worth mentioning: https://github.com/GameFoundry/bsf (Banshee Engine is built on top of it) https://github.com/mosra/magnum (Graphics middleware for games and data visualization) https://github.com/turanszkij/WickedEngine (Game engine focusing on modern rendering techniques and performance) https://github.com/polymonster/pmtech (Lightweight multi-platform data-oriented game engine) https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d (Powerful mature open-source cross-platform game engine)

Yeah, good list. It's only for C++ projects? If not so, I would add these:

• Xenko - C#, Web: http://xenko.com/ Github: https://github.com/xenko3d/xenko
• JMonkey Engine - Java.
  Web: https://jmonkeyengine.org/ Github: https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine
• PlayCanvas - JS Web: https://playcanvas.com/ Github: https://github.com/playcanvas/engine
• BabylonJS - JS Web: https://www.babylonjs.com/ Github: https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js
• Heaps - Haxe Web: https://heaps.io/ Github: https://github.com/HeapsIO/heaps
• Veldrid - C# Web: https://veldrid.dev/ Github: https://github.com/mellinoe/veldrid
• LWJGL - Java Web: https://www.lwjgl.org/ Github: https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3
• MonoGame - C# Web: http://www.monogame.net/ Github: https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame
• Kha - Haxe Web: http://kha.tech/ Github: https://github.com/Kode/Kha
• ThreeJS - JS Web: https://threejs.org/ Github: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js

Also, in C++, you may add some interesting engines/libraries like:

• CryEngine: https://github.com/CRYTEK/CRYENGINE
• Lumberyard: https://github.com/aws/lumberyard
• Lumix Engine: https://github.com/nem0/LumixEngine
• Lumos: https://github.com/jmorton06/Lumos
• Blue Shift Engine : https://github.com/PolygonTek/BlueshiftEngine
• RBFX: https://github.com/rokups/rbfx
• Acid: https://github.com/EQMG/Acid
• Toy Engine: https://github.com/hugoam/toy
• SFML:https://github.com/SFML/SFML
• Cauldron: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/Cauldron
• Unity CS Ref: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference
• Raylib: https://github.com/raysan5/raylib
• LibTwo: https://github.com/hugoam/two

Yeah, these are in my list ;).

@nxrighthere, @valtovar thanks for great links! Grouping projects by primary language is a good idea. WebGL projects deserve their own spot for sure :)
