RE: [GD-General] Prices of well-known 3D engines

[Jamie F. <ja...@qu...>]

<blush> :)

Why thank you, Gareth :) Although i have to say i don't work on it, but with
it. It won't suit everybody at the moment (low level rendering access isn't
yet available through the API, ironically, given D3D), but it does have some
features that are pretty darn useful:

- complete streaming solution (i don't know of any other engine that offers
this, but i haven't looked hard)
- full phong lighting model
- underlying performant relational database
- a strong world editing tool (QStudio)
- complex finite state machines for controlling animation of characters

... and a number of other things too, which don't spring to mind right now.
More tea needed, i think :)

Jamie

Interesting, I'll take a look, but d3drm is (in my opinion) not a very good
engine (It suffered from a lot of design faults in my view) and d3dim wasn't
exactly a full featured games engine.

That said, both were a lot better than anything else out there (although
d3dim wasn't as good as OpenGL at the time), and I'm sure the people that
are working on Q have, like the industry as a whole, vastly improved. And
from following the lists, saying that you worked on it is an automatic
reason to assume it's good.

So off a webpage viewing I go.
