Jet3D Home Graphics by Kaylon					Quick Nav + Environment + Editor + Characters + Character Animation + Driver Support + Technical Details Jet3D is a state-of-the-art 3D graphics engine built for high performance real-time rendering. Jet3D offers advanced lighting features, 3D modeling support, seamless soft-skin polyonal characters and many other innovations.       Environment   Exceptionally fast rendering Radiosity lighting Integrated rigid body physics simulation support for world objects Pre-computed lighting for animating light intensities and simulating caustics Environment uses BSP trees for fast visibility culling Dynamic RGB lights Dynamic shadows Dynamic fog Dynamic mirrors Dynamic water effects Dynamic texturing effects such as procedurals, animations, blending, and morphing Area portals allow selective rendering of world geometry Translucent world geometry for windows, or other effects Spherically mapped sky for seamless sky and horizon 3D sound positioning and attenuation User extendable special effects and particle systems Bitmap and Windows font support for labeling the screen, textures, or bitmaps   Editor   CSG editor builds geometry optimized for 3D environments Built in keyframe system to animate world geometry Multiple compilation options, including fast recompiles for changes to non-geometrical objects such as lights and entities Configurable entity definitions for sharing level data with applications Built in physics entity definitions for specifying interactions between physically controlled objects   Characters   Seamless soft-skin polygonal characters Automatic visibility culling for optimal performance Tools to support character and animation authoring for 3D Studio Max Smoothing group support for high quality shading No limit to the number of materials used to texture or color characters Materials can be animated using tinting, procedurals, animations, blending, and morphing   Character Animation     Animation based on either a hierarchical or a non-hierarchical bone system Arbitrarily spaced keyframes in time High quality interpolation between keys - second order continuity across orientation keys Sharing of animations across different characters Animations can be blended and mixed or partially applied Animations are optimized to take up minimal space Interpolation and blending subsystems can be used independently to animate other user objects     Driver Support     Glide D3D (full screen and in a window) Software driver for support on machines without hardware acceleration (full screen and in a window) Built in texture and lightmap caching Takes advantage of 3D hardware that supports multitexturing 2D bitmap overlays     Technical Details     Physics subsystem can be used to control world geometry, or independently to animate other user objects Virtual file system allows file IO access to collection files, memory files, dos file systems, and user extendable file systems transparently Math support for vectors, matrices, and quaternions Comprehensive support for texture and bitmap formats, mipmaps, and conversions Basic network transport support for multiplayer Fast collisions against the world geometry Volumetric queries to determine the type of volume(s) a box lies in Multiple worlds can be loaded and rapidly switched between Multiple renders from different cameras can be mixed in a single frame High level polygon API for adding persistent or temporary user drawn objects           This website and all graphics contained within are © Eclipse Entertainment, 1999.
