There's been much talk of integrating ODE and 3d engines like irrlicht as they are cross platform as well, but no substantial progress.

What are your thoughts on this? irrlicht and ode seem like prime contenders due to their source being available.

Antony and I have been working on a 3D game written in his trinity engine. It's coming along quite nicely allthough a fair way before the engine can be sold as a marketable product or anything. We think the game may well be finished sometime in March :) should be one of the first hopefully cross platform 3D Bmax games :)

Oh, I was wondering who the mystery person is :D
Behold, the truth is revealed!

So, I'm guessing that if you (who is not the engine's prime author) are using it with Antony for a game before release, then it must be pretty good :D

yeah so far it's working quite well, still a lot of work till its good enough for public consumption, but it's getting put through it's paces and the games helping iron out problems as we find them.
