Hello, I have recently released publicly Esenthel Engine (free for non-commercial use), it's an advanced 3d game engine. You can download it from here http://www.esenthel.com/en/download.html The package contains step by step installation, documentation, tutorials and tools. This is the full list of features: 1. Key features simplicity speed stability visual effects physics constantly evolving tons of useful functions 2. Detailed features AI pathfinding (2d polygon based) Animation System skeletal keyframed blending events highly compatible (one humanoid animation works on all humanoid skeletons) Camera support of 4 cameras - Fpp, Tpp, Isometric, Custom camera effects - quake, dizzyness automatic frustum calculation for geometry culling Geometry calculating surface area, volume, distance between, multiple transform operations (moving, rotating, scaling, transforming by matrix), basic collision detection, drawing of plane point (2d/3d) edge (2d/3d) triangle (2d/3d) quad (2d/3d) rectangle box oriented box circle sphere capsule tube torus cone pyramid Graphics color rgb, hue, brightness, opacity, inverse, adding, lerping gamma calibration 4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 16:10 or custom screen aspect support shader model 2.0, 3.0 supported vertex buffering for simple graphics drawing (images, gui elements, geometry objects, ...) anisotropic filtering, mip-mapping, synchronization, windowed / fullscreen screenshot taking font drawing with shadows textures supported L8, A8, A8L8, X8R8G8B8, A8R8G8B8, DXT3, DXT5, ... texture lock, unlock, crop, blur, downsample, pixel set, get bump to normal map conversion importing bmp, png, jpg, tga, dds point, directional, cone lights occlusion query support particle system (based on a single shape, or animated skeleton) viewports, rendertargets smooth fading between screens 2d effects - subtitles, ripple, fade using fade texture GUI custom GUI, with support of - button, checkbox, combobox, context menu, desktop, amplitude bar, custom element, image, tabs, text, viewport, list, progress bar, region, slidebar, textline, window, window IO file/dir selection Input keyboard, mouse, joypads detecting key states, key pushes, key releases, key double clicks, and key combos mouse rectangle clipping, driver disabling, hardware pointer IO custom file object class, with support of reading & writing - binary, text, xml files, from memory, file or file inside file wth data encryption detecting file / directory information, file / directory searching, file / directory creating / deleting, operating on all files inside directory data packing to one big PAK file (keeps directories structure, automatically sorts files for faster accessing) drives detection (hdd, cd..)
