Have you looked at VTK? http://www.vtk.org/ I've only used some of the numerical stuff (rather than the visualization stuff). The parts I've used have a rather screwy, overly complex API because it's a thinly wrapped C++ library. But, it appears to be quite powerful and well documented. http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/pyvtk/ http://www.imaging.robarts.ca/~dgobbi/vtk/vtkpython.html -- Grant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Maybe VPython (Visual) or Panda fits your needs. cheers, Stef -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

But what im after is a set of tools for creating a visualisation program. A while ago, we used QT with the OpenGL plugins and this library: http://www.libqglviewer.com/ Essentially, you mashed these 3 together and you got a proper OpenGL window with basic mouse looks, picks and all the rest of the 'standard' stuff you cant be arsed coding for the 15th time or so ;) Model loading is also supported from a small array of formats. im not uber keen that it has to be opengl but im sure there must be a similar set of python libs out there. PyGame isnt a bad one at all but its graphic manipulation routines can be a pain (rotations) and its 2D only but its certainly along the right lines.

At the moment i've been using Flash with the Five3D library to do most of the work. Sadly this isnt an option anymore but it is a good example. Pretty,anti-aliased 2D and 3D graphics, simple interaction and no need to rewrite the wheel. Im a fan of OpenGL and PyOpenGL is fairly cool but I really dont want to have to write yet another camera, another way of dealing with Vectors, texture organiser, picking, etc etc. Is there a library or set of libraries that people are aware of that might do this? I remember a few in C++ and C but it'd be nicer to stick to working with Python Cheers Ben Hey Ben, dunno if this is exactly what you;re looking for, yet you could have a look at Blender http://blender.org/ http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Scripts it's an open source 3D application and has a python scripting engine...
