• Object-Oriented Design
• Plug-in Architecture
• Save/Load System
• Other
• Flexible plugin system for adding new engine features without changing the core engine source code
• Powerful database management for storing game data. Multiple databases can be combined and modified at the same time
• The plugin SDK can be used without licensing the engine
• Render-to-Texture
• Fonts
• GUI
• Comes with a renderer designed for the current and next generation of programmable graphics cards
• Render-to-texture is used heavily for post-processing effects like bloom and HDR
• Includes a sophisticated buffered GUI system that goes beyond what is found in most games
• Supports True Type Fonts for text rendering
• GUI windows can include complex animated effects, similar to Mac OS X
• Environment Mapping
• Billboarding
• Particle System
• Sky
• Water
• Fire
• Explosion
• Fog
• Weather
• Special effects can be easily added using the shader file format
• Included sky system contains moving sky/moon and changes colors through out the virtual day

• Per-vertex
• Per-pixel
• Volumetric
• Anisotropic Lights are done with full per-pixel shading, and an unlimited number of lights can be added to a scene

• Shadow Mapping
• Projected planar Terrain system implements automatic tree canopy shadows that effect all objects

• Basic
• Multi-texturing
• Bumpmapping
• Mipmapping
• Procedural
• Supports dot-3 bump mapping and anisotropic filtering
• Other types of texturing, such as offset mapping can be implemented easily using the flexible shader system

• Vertex
• Pixel
• High Level
• Comes with an easy to use text-based shader file format for creating sophisticated visual effects
• Use HLSL to create custom vertex and fragment programs

• Mesh Loading
• Skinning
• Deformation
• Comes with a 3D Studio Max exporter for creating mesh files
• Collision geometry, animations, lights and mesh data can be exported from Max

• General
• LOD
• Scene objects are paged in and out of memory around the player as necessary
• The game world is totally seamless - there are no loading screens. Everything is loaded in as it is needed in the background.

• Forward Kinematics
• Keyframe Animation
• Skeletal Animation Animations can be created and exported using the 3D Studio Max exporter plugin

• Rendering
• CLOD
• Splatting
• Continuous LOD terrain that is paged into memory behind the scenes around the player
• Optimized splatting algorithm that renders four splat layers in a single render pass
• Splating textures can be painted directly onto terrain through editor.

• Basic Physics
• Collision Detection
• Rigid Body A Newton physics system is provided with the engine. Other Physics APIs can be integrated through the plugin system

• Scripted MochaScript can be used to control game objects

• 3D Sound
• Streaming Sound
• Comes with an OpenAL audio system for playing 3D positional audio as well as streaming background music
• Additional audio systems can be added through plugins

• Comes with a wide variety of game content editors
• World editor for manipulating objects, terrain, and forests.
• Visual tree editor for creating foliage
• GUI editor for creating tool and game user interfaces
• Particle system editor for creating special effects
• New game-specific tools can be added through plugins

Comes with a familiar, custom C-like scripting language that closely integrates with engine objects, called MochaScript
