Genesis3D was a project by Eclipse Entertainment to create a 3D game engine for the Windows platform to render indoor scenes with moderate polygon count at high performance. The first version released as source code in 1998 with a restricted license and that version supported hardware acceleration (with DirectX and Glide) and software renderer (optimized for AMD processors) support. Features * Area portals * BSP * RGB light maps * Pre computed lighting * Dynamic lights, shadows, fog, and water effects * Planar mirrors * Spherically mapped skybox * Radiosity lighting * Sprites * Physics subsystem with fast collision detection and rigid body physics simulation * Basic network transport support for multiplayer mode * C API with Opaque data structures and reference counting mechanism * Support for multiple graphics APIs is provided by using a DLL and common driver interface mechanism Main Tools * GEdit (Level editor with constructive solid geometry techniques) * Actor Studio and Actor Builder (For exporting 3D mesh and animation data) * Actor Viewer (Mesh and animation previewer) * Texture Packer (Archives bitmaps) Miscellaneous Genesis3D allows the game creators to animate 3D models using now-standard (needed ) "skeletal animation", allowing for complex smoothed movement (instead of interpolated vertex keyframes used in the ''Quake'' games). An early game using the Genesis3D engine, ''G-Sector'', was created by Freeform Interactive and released as a technology demo/free game in December 1998. The free editor Reality Factory uses the Genesis3D engine. ==Notable Genesis3D games== *'' Extreme Boards & Blades (1999)'', A 3D skateboarding and rollerblading simulation. *'' Extreme Paintbrawl 2 (1999)'', a 3D first-person paintball FPS developed and published by Head Games. *'' G-sector (2000) *'' Kingsborn (2000) *'' Barbie Generation Girl Gotta Groove (2001)'', the number-seven best-selling game for Christmas 1999 developed by Neurobatics Corporation *'' Dragon's Lair 3D: Return to the Lair (2002)'' developed by Dragonstone Software *''Special Force'', an anti-Israel game developed by Hezbollah. *''Ethnic Cleansing (2002)'', an openly racist computer game developed and distributed by Resistance Records. *''Neocron (2002) *''Catechumen (2000)'', a 3D Roman first-person shooter developed and published by Christian video game company N'Lightning Software Development. *'' Ominous Horizons: A Paladin's Calling (2001)'', the second 3D Christian first-person shooter developed by N'Lightning Software Development as a spiritual successor to ''Catechumen''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Genesis3D」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
