Hi,

If you think of it, the UnrealEngine2 isn''t that expensive if you take into account all it encompasses. It''s a huge package containing pretty much all aspects of a game engine, not just rendering, but AI, audio and physics too (Karma license included), not to mention UnrealScript. Some parts of it are under licenses themselves, like Karma. Luckily they''ve added Pixomatic and Karma licenses into the license fees already.

So you all think the key for a successful 3D engine (not necessarely a full game engine) is that it has to be well documented, contain full source, reasonable pricing, exquisite support, easily customizable and easily updatable as well as generalized (without risking too much effectiveness)?
