RAMSES – An Open Source 3D Graphics Tool Chain for Android
summary
Open source 3D tool chain used in production at BMW since 2018, delivering streams 3D scenes, not video to displays and shipping as a Maven package on Maven Central (two native libs wrapped by a Java/Kotlin API). Editor is WYSIWYG and uses glTF import, Lua scripting and a Python automation API, plus a Gradle plugin to emit binary RCA assets. Engine targets OpenGL ES 3.0, avoids UI-thread blocking, has GPU shaders in GLSL, and is MPL‑licensed and available on GitHub for integration and contribution.
