- Overview
- User Reviews
PixelLight is an open-source, cross-platform 3D application framework written in C++. It currently supports Windows and Linux, and a mobile port for Maemo 5 is on the way. PixelLight has a highly plugin driven architecture with plugins for many third-party middleware such as sound and physics engines, input devices etc. It has a modern deferred shader renderer and currently supports both OpenGL and OpenGL ES 2.0.

Supported Features
General
- Object-Oriented Design
- Plug-in Architecture
- Save/Load System
- RTTI with attributes, methods, signals, slots and properties
- SpaceMouse (SpaceNavigator, SpacePilot and so on) support
- Wii Remote support
- Fixed-function
- Deferred Shading
- Render-to-Texture
- Fonts
- GUI
- There are fixed functions and shaders based compositing layers to support a broad range of graphics cards
- Fixed function: For legacy hardware without shader support and just fixed build in graphics features
- Forward: A classic forward renderer using shaders. Each object is drawn per light again.
- Deferred: A modern deferred renderer approach performing for example lighting in image space
- Scene rendering is usually using Über-shaders to enable many shader features, while using just the currently required features
- Layers with debug information like wireframe, scene node icons, scene node names and so on
- Environment Mapping
- Lens Flares
- Billboarding
- Particle System
- Depth of Field
- Fog
Lighting
- Per-vertex
- Per-pixel
- Volumetric
- Lightmapping
- Gloss maps
- Several types of light sources: directional, omnidirectional, spot, omnidirectional projective and projective spot
