Dawntec 3D Engine 10
Show Details   Web page   Email author   Read Reviews   Review or Rate this Engine Rating: Not yet rated [Edit] Edit
Industrial engine focusing on large terrain visulisation. Typical users are companies that need to visualize something while providing only a world description of any format. The engine will import the data and provide an interactive exploration of the given data. helicopter, human person, virtual camera and a car including all physics and collision detection allow to explore the virtual world. Elements in focus can be selected, virtual pathes saved and launched, videos recorded etc. There is no coding necessary for the customer. The engine is adapted to customer needs and then maintained/extended if necessary. The engine is in professional use since 1997.
