TOP TEN COMMERCIAL 3D GAME ENGINES


1. TORQUE Game Engine

The Torque Game Engine (TGE) is a fully featured AAA game engine with award winning multi-player network code, seamless indoor/outdoor rendering engines, state of the art skeletal animation, drag and drop GUI creation, a built in world editor, and a C-like scripting language. Unlike most commercial game engines, as part of the low cost license, you receive all C++ source code to the engine, so you can make any additions you need for your game.

2. TV3D SDK 6


The TV3D SDK is a complete programming suite that accelerates the development of 3D games and applications. If you need to quickly prototype an idea, or need to quickly bring a product to market, then the TV3D SDK will save you time and money. With this 3D engine you have the power of an expensive 3D SDK, at a price that will not break your budget.

3. 3DGameStudio


With hundreds of published titles, 3D GameStudio is the leading authoring system for all sorts of 2D and 3D real-time applications. It combines the C-Script programming language with a high-end 3D engine, a 2D engine (for HUD and menus), a physics engine, a level, terrain and model editor, and huge libraries of 3D objects, artwork, scripts, and pre-made games.

4. Unity


Unity is the best 3D game development solution available to Mac users. The pro version even allows the creation of games that can run on Windows computers. It's a new engine, but it has a very active community and the developers are more than willing to help with tough questions. Unity is a much more flexible engine, with a lot lower learning curve.

5. Cipher


Cipher contains a broad range of features to help you in all areas of game development, from ultra fast rendering and immersive audio, to powerful artist tools.

6. Reality Engine


The Reality Engine is a true next-generation toolset for developing games in the competitive 2006+ timeframe, where near-photorealism will be expected, and the growing demands on artists must be met with more efficient pipelines and tools that can make the most of your time and resources to meet tight schedules.

7. 3Impact


Royalty free 3d game engine designed to be easy to use, featuring C++ syntax, multi-bone skeletal animation, mesh warping, texture animation, accurate collision response, constraints, stacked objects, wheels with suspensions, volumetric shadows, particle systems, true mirror surfaces, 3d ogg sounds and more.

8. Deep Creator


Deep Creator is a next generation interactive 3D (i-3D) application-authoring environment for creating real time 3D applications such as video games, architectural visualizations or virtual reality environments running on Microsoft's Windows operating systems. Cosmos Creator takes the "Game Engine" concept to the next level with an integrated 3D modeler, texture creator and scripting engine all built in to a single program. Cosmos Creator's high performance 3D engine and an intuitive integrated application development environment is capable of creating stand alone and web based interactive 3D applications. Final scenes and games can be distributed royalty free.

9. C4 Engine


It's a multi-platform operating system for games. It includes a comprehensive suite of game technologies including 3D sound and music, network communications, input devices, memory and resource management, and a lot more.

10. Beyond Virtual


Beyond Virtual was developed, from the ground up, to provide powerful and flexible architecture for developing advanced 3d games and real-time 'Machinima' videos. Beyond Virtual is based around a core framework dubbed 'BvLib'. BvLib is used by all of the Beyond Virtual tools, including the Object Viewer, World Editor and Game Shell application itself.
