KEY FEATURES:

• Games are being optimized to be digitally distributed (many strong audio/video/code compression algorithms integrated).
• Common game logic, although with different assets of quality and effects for each platform.
• Optimized for certain types of games

Network distribution

• Efficient asset compression
• Network data streaming
• Compressions of game code
• Music formats which support both bank-based and recorded playback

Scene

• Hierarchical scene graph representation
• Portal based culling algorithm for interior scene representation
• Automatic occlusion culling, level-of-detail and transparent data streaming allowing the creation of almost unlimited game worlds!
• Support for high-level scripting language

Animation

• Dynamic skeletal animation system with real-time sequence blending
• Support for mo-cap pose matching
• Footskates minimalisation

Rendering

• Powerful rendering of highly detailed models
• Platform-dependent rendering strategy for even more efficiency, while still being transparent for the end-user
• Flexible material system allowing to add custom effect
• Built-in effects: bump mapping, parallax mapping, fur, etc.
• Post-processing effects
• Particlesystem
• Dynamic lighting, including phong, oryan-nayer, lambert illumination models
• Static and dynamic shadowing based on light maps and shadow mapping
• Environment mapping
• Realistic water

Physics

• Cutting-edge technology provided by industry leading Bullet Physics engine
• Supports various shape types: Convex Polyhedron, Box, Sphere, Cone, Cylinder, Capsule, Static Triangle Mesh, Heightfield
• Discrete Collision Detection for Rigid Body Simulation:
            Persistent Manifold, with contact point reduction
            Collision Results can also be used for AI/Triggers/Character Control
            GJK based general convex collision detection
• SingleQueries:
            Closest Point/Normal/Distant
            Penetration Depth estimation
            RayCast
            Linear Cast/Swept Collision Test
            Experimental Continuous Collision Detection/Time of Impact (incl. Rotation)
• Optimizations:
            Sweep and Prune Broadphase
            Bounding Volume Hierarchy for Static Triangle Mesh (AABB tree)
            Allows re-use of graphics mesh, instead of duplicating (using index/stride)
