Crystal Space is a mature, full-featured Software Development Kit (SDK) providing real-time 3D graphics for applications such as games and virtual reality. It is free (LGPL) and cross-platform (Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X).


The project encompasses two main components and one project putting things together:

Crystal Space — A modular, configurable, and extensible rendering engine supporting OpenGL and advanced features such as shaders and lighting systems, physics, 3D sounds, animation blending, foliage, terrain, virtual file system, physical peripherals, and more.
CEL — Entity system supporting higher-level functionality, such as runtime package environment (CELstart), generic event system, avatar and camera management, artificial intelligence (behavior trees, path finding, neural networks and genetic algorithms), vehicles, and more.
Project Ares — Based on Crystal Space and CEL, the Ares Project aims to be a full featured 3D Game Creation Kit. Create assets using Open Source projects like Blender and GIMP and then load them into AresEd to make fully featured games.
