About

About Panda3D

Panda3D is a free, open-source framework for real-time 3D games, simulations, visualization, and interactive applications. It combines a C++ engine with a productive Python interface and also supports direct C++ development for teams that need lower-level control.

The SDK includes rendering, a scene graph, shaders, animation, audio, input, collision systems, profiling, packaging, and integrations for common physics and asset formats. Panda3D is code-first, making it a strong fit for developers who want to assemble a tailored engine workflow instead of relying on a fixed editor.

Panda3D uses the Modified BSD license and permits commercial use. Its optional libraries and bundled dependencies have separate licenses, so teams should review the official third-party license list for the exact features they ship.
