Antiryad Gx 3
Show Details   Web page   Email author   Read Reviews   Review or Rate this Engine Rating: (6 votes) [Edit] Edit
Antiryad Gx is a cross platform 3d engine. It was tested by the creation of several projects in various studios which used some or the totality of the functionalities of the engine. Antiryad Gx is a product integrating a multitude of tools, mainly developed under Mandrake Linux. It allows to edit some levels of game, export 3d environments, create videos. The API is also acessible with C objects, C++ classes and with the embeded Gel virtual machine scripting language (the scripters have accesss to all Antiryad functions.). All programming and graphics resources are completly platform independant, then a product developed in conformance with Antiryad API should work without modifications on all other supported platforms.

Cube 2: Sauerbraten 6
Show Details   Web page   Email author   Read Reviews   Review or Rate this Engine Rating: (5 votes) [Edit] Edit
Sauerbraten (a.k.a. Cube 2) is a free multiplayer/singleplayer first person shooter, built as a major redesign of the Cube FPS. Much like the original Cube, the aim of this game is not necessarily to produce the most features & eyecandy possible, but rather to allow map/geometry editing to be done dynamically in-game, to create fun gameplay and an elegant engine. The engine supporting the game is entirely original in code & design, and its code is Open Source (ZLIB license, read the docs for more on how you can use the engine).

DX Studio is a complete integrated development environment for creating interactive 3D graphics. The system comprises of both a real-time 3D engine and a suite of editing tools. The engine allows JavaScript control of everything from changing the background to editing meshes in real-time. You can also command and control documents from outside of the player using the ActiveX/COM interface. Using DX Studio you can build complete real-time interactive applications, simulations or games, for standalone use or for embedding in other Microsoft Office/Visual Studio applications. The playback engine in both EXE and ActiveX DLL forms can be redistributed without any further royalties.
