Український GameDev портал

На сьогоднішній день є мабуть одним з найбільш відомих програмних пакетів для створення realtime 3D контенту. 
Напевно глупо буде переводити чисто технічні терміни на російську мову, тому опис основних можливостей движка залишимо на англійською: 

General Features 

Object-Oriented Design, Plug-in Architecture, Save / Load System: 
• Automatic selection of own or hardware based T & L for maximum performance on old and new 3D hardware 
• DLL plugin interface 
• Arbitrary axis rotations for space and flight simulators 
• Path tracking for camera, actors or vehicles 

Scripting 

• Starting users can use the large library of pre-made scripts. Can create an entire game without writing any code! 
• More advanced users can use the built in script language to have full control over the everything in the game. 
• Expert users can interface to the engine using C / C + + or Delphi. 

Built-in Editors Level, Model, and Script editors included. 

Physics Basic Physics, Collision Detection, Rigid Body, Vehicle Physics: 

• Physics engine supports gravity, Mass, Damping, elasticity, Friction, and hinge, Ball, Wheel, and slider joints 
• Polygon level collision detection for terrain and 3D objects 

Lighting Per-Vertex, Per-Pixel, Lightmapping: 

• Static and dynamic point, Spot, and directional light sources 

Shadows Projected planar, Shadow Volume: 

• Stencil shadows and 24-bit level surfaces 

Texturing Basic, Multi-texturing, Bumpmapping, Mipmapping: 

• Trilinear mip mapping 
• Multitexturing (up to 8 textures), light maps, detail textures
