| Shoulda mentioned - I'll be culling this thread pretty vigorously to keep the noise down... |
| ||
| The link to LE is dead. It should be http://www.leadwerks.com |
| ||
| Flow3D is finally released in Beta form so I thought I'd ask to have it added to the list. Ogre Wrapper written in C++ and Blitzmax. Current beta is Win32 with Mac and Linux versions coming soon. Flow3D includes Newton and CEgui skinnable/scriptable GUI system and optional free FlowED scene editor. http://www.flow3d.org/ |

| Max3D ? ;) |

| I think someone each from the forums, should take one on and write a wrapper/module for it. Then people will have even more choice, and potentially less whinging will ensue (eg. "meh, BlitzMax doesn't do 3D out-of-the-box" - neither does C++, but that doesn't seem to stop people using it to do 3D). Blizzard should open-source their Diablo II engine... |
| ||
| Blizzard should open-source their Diablo II engine... That would be fantastic. Anyone fancy writing a letter? |
| ||
| Ninfa 3d engine, written for Freebasic, has a version for Blitzmax: http://www.mysticrealitystudio.comuv.com/1_6_Downloads.html It uses Irrlicht for 3d graphics, OpenAL for audio and Newton for Physics :D screenshots here: http://www.mysticrealitystudio.comuv.com/index.php?p=3_2 |
| ||
| I recently provided my BMAX source code for most of the tutorials for Leadwerks 2.3. If you are a BMAXer, you should give LE a go. |
| ||
| they should update BlitzMax 3D Engine list now as marksibly post BlitzMax 3D Engine list Two years ago! |
| ||
| You may want to add BlendELF: http://blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=90468 |
| ||
| bruZard's bo3d (Blitz Ogre3D Wrapper) is looking good! http://code.google.com/p/bo3d/ |
| ||
| Out of curiosity: What happened to Max3D? http://bmx3d.googlecode.com/ This link seems to be dead (at least "forbidden"?) |
| ||
| I thought it had a lot of promise, but Mark abandoned it and took down the svn. I think Nillium is hosting a mirror of the project on his site. |
| ||
| has anyone tried the coldsteel engine and how good is it. |
| ||
| coldsteel engine? It seem to me that it look like Outdate engine but I dont know much about coldsteel engine. I am sure someone will tell you what Good 3D Engine for BlitzMax :) |
| ||
| I'd like to add my engine: http://code.google.com/p/warner-engine/ |
| ||
| That's really nice Warner! Random questions though... Any plans on adding shaders, CSG routines or some simple functions to alter the terrain height/texture realtime? |
| ||
| FYI - Maxb3d is being maintained by kfprimm here: https://github.com/kfprimm/maxb3d |
| ||
| Not sure you can count the Blendelf wrapper as usable. It has about 10 commands in it in total. |
| ||
| Doesn't Bmax support C++? Why wouldn't the DarkGDK work? |
| ||
| i just found a new 3d engine looks so much like blitz3d but its dx11 support . it's called nuclear basic really looks awesome !!! |
| ||
| @zeek I don't think you should be posting that here! This thread is for posting about 3D engines compatible with BRL products. There is a thread about it in the general discussion section, even the author posted there: http://www.blitzmax.com/Community/posts.php?topic=94308#1081394 Last edited 2011 |

| sorry jesse you're right thanks for the heads up. I taught myself everything from scratch how to make games with b3d so i like so many others have been waiting for something like this. i see i'm a little late. |
| ||
| I tally vote for minib3d! Just a quick question, Why buy bb3d when they could buy bmax and download minib3d? Does minib3d work on windows because I cannot get it working? (I own bb3d so this isn't a biggy.) Last edited 2012 |

| Why buy bb3d when they could buy bmax and download minib3d? Each product targets different kinds of user. With 'Blitz3D' the language is simpler and it doesn't need you to deal with modules to get something good going on. Blitz3D is delivered to you ready to go. With 'BMax' the language is faster and improved, and you can do a lot more with it. But you have to deal with modules (such as MiniB3D), build options etc. - it's not as beginner-friendly as Blitz3D. You can see that by your question below... Does minib3d work on windows because I cannot get it working? (I own bb3d so this isn't a biggy.) It's most likely a MinGW problem. I suggest opening a new thread about this issue. This one is for listing 3D engines. |
| ||
| Blitz3D is Windows-only, I believe. |
| ||
| Aren't there anymore 3d engines for bmx that have mac support?? |
| ||
| What engine is Crystal Dynamics for? |
| ||
| What's up with Flow3D? It seems like a decent engine, but there's so little info about it. No forums, no notification of when it was updated etc. http://www.flow3d.org/ Anyone know anything about it? |
| ||
| Flow 3D is Dead I think |
| ||
| The new site for Flow3D is: http://flow3d.boxsnap.com/ Seems to be free now, and probably a dead engine development wise. I guess Lina decided that she didn't want to continue with it. |
| ||
| @Zethrax: Both links point to the same page. But yeah... Seems dead, what a shame. |
| ||
| @Hezkore So they do. I think I was using flow3d.com instead of the .org version when I checked the domain. Pity this died. It looked really promising for a while. |
| ||
| wonder if they plan on making it open sauce |
| ||
| Stumbled across this really impressive little engine today. SVEngine by Nibor |
