- Overview
- User Reviews
A full featured multi-platform game engine including graphics, physics, sound/music, own collision library, networking, 3DS MAX exporter, different model importers, character animation and a lot more.
The engine has been first publicly presented at ECTS 2004 in London.
The SDK provides full API documentation, samples, tutorials and reference games.

- Procedural
Shaders
- Vertex
- Pixel
- High Level
Meshes
- Mesh Loading
- Skinning
- Tessellation
- Provides several ways of creating geometry, which can be selected depending on different factors
- Bezier surfaces and subdivision surfaces can be used to create fast and good looking landscapes and levels
Scene Management
- General
- Occlusion Culling
- LOD
- Provides a hierarchical scenegraph
- Uses an optimized R-Tree (also with option to use frame coherency) for frustum culling and all other spatial queries
- LOD is provided through dynamically generated geometry (e.g. bezier patches, subdivision surfaces)
Animation
- Forward Kinematics
- Keyframe Animation
- Skeletal Animation
- Facial Animation
- Animation Blending
- Skeletal animation can directly be exported from 3DS MAX
- Can use Cal3D for character animation
Physics
- Basic Physics
- Collision Detection
- Rigid Body
- Vehicle Physics
- Supports collisions against triangle meshes
- Physics is currently implemented using ODE
Networking
- Client-Server
- Peer-to-Peer
- Master Server Additionally provides a versatile socket abstraction and a std::iostream compatible TCP stream
Artificial Intelligence
- Pathfinding
- Provides some basic classes like optimized A* and utility functions
Sound
- 2D Sound
- 3D Sound
- Streaming Sound
- Supports OpenAL for sound effect and music
- Uses libmpeg or ffmpeg for streaming sound
- Supports FMOD als an alternative to OpenAL
Tools & Editors
Provides an editor framework which can be used to create custom and powerful editors for the specific game
