The Ace3D Engine is an realtime 3D game/visualization engine, written in C++.

Version 2.2 is a modern rendering engine making full use of cutting-edge technologies and effects: area shadows, soft particles, parallax mapping, advanced post effects, anisotropic and translucent shading, realtime refractions and dispersion.

Ace3D includes integrated editor which enables to modify a game just during the game run. Usage of this editor results in the considerable reduction of time-to-market. Ace3D Engine currently supports DirectX 9 and runs on Windows platform.

Particle Systems

Powerful and extensible particle systems featuring:

  • Soft Particles
  • Emitters to objects association
  • Billboard and geometric particles
  • Particles as emitters (trails, fireworks, chaining, etc)
  • Collision response
  • Forces (wind, gravity, magnetic field), bubble motion
  • Easy to extend by adding new affectors, states, transitions, shapes and deflectors
  • In-Game Editor integration
3ds Max and Content Pipeline

3ds Max is fully integrated into content pipeline featuring:

  • Export of 3D scenes from 3ds Max including:
    • Geometry (up to 8 texture channels, color of vertexes and weight of bones)
    • Sources of color
    • Parameters of materials
    • Splines
    • Groups of objects
    • Any types of animations (including bone animation and movement by spline)
    • Geometry for collisions
  • Additional plug-ins allow to set any game objects and assign them to the scene objects. In such a way a level may be completely built in 3ds Max and game objects set in interactive mode during the game run.
  • All the materials are displayed in the same way they will be displayed in the game.
  • Due to this, one doesn't need to develop game editor which substantially reduces the cost of development and time-to-market.
In-Game Editor

Ace3D Light includes integrated editor which enables to modify a game directly during the game run. Usage of this editor results in the considerable reduction of time-to-market - as there is no necessity anymore to restart the game in order to view the changes you have made.

In-game editor features:

  • Automatic serialization of objects (including game objects) to .xml format and the own binary format. There is no necessity for a programmer to write a code of serialization and interaction with game editor – the code is generated automatically. The opportunity to add support of own formats
  • Review and modification of properties of any objects (engine objects and game objects)
  • Call of object methods
  • Creation, deletion, copying and pasting of objects and their links
  • Automatic save of changes made
  • Special mode of debug visualization
  • Special mode of interface editing
