The Harfang 3D engine is an open source graphics engine for creating VR games, apps and applications for Windows and Linux. The core framework is available under several open source licenses, including GPLv3, LGPL, and a paid commercial license. In addition to the main structure, there is also a Harfang 3D studio that can be used to visually compose 3D scenes.
