Nirvana 3D

Nirvana 3D is an open-source 3D graphics and game engine that I am developing entirely in Python. Built with simplicity and learning in mind, Nirvana 3D leverages the NumPy library for matrix operations and Matplotlib for rendering, offering a hands-on approach to game development for Python enthusiasts. While many game engines are built on lower-level languages like C/C++, Nirvana aims to bridge the gap by providing a Python-based platform that lowers the technical barrier, especially for indie developers and hobbyists.

Key Features: • File Import & Basic Rendering: Nirvana 3D supports *.obj file imports and provides foundational rendering options. Basic lighting, surface normal calculations, z-buffering, and transformations like scaling, rotation, and translation are currently implemented. • Rendering Modes: Scenes can be visualized in wireframe, Lambertian shading, and other simple shading models, making it accessible for those exploring 3D graphics for the first time. • Multiple Cameras & Scene Support: Users can set up multiple scenes with different camera perspectives, supporting more complex gameplay environments and design flexibility.

Nirvana 3D is in its early experimental stages but aspires to become a practical, approachable tool for Python developers and indie game creators interested in 3D game development.
