Quest3D — the all-in-one system for development of different Real-time-applications, combines elements of the most powerful designer and a complex game engine. With its help it is possible to create technical demoversions, interesting multimedia projects, saturated 3D - presentations, variegated teaching tools and, of course, technological games (dynamic actions, quests of the highest level, strategy, quiet RPG, etc.).
Unlike similar development of Quest3D excellently copes with processing of shadows and lighting in real time, supports modern HDRI - effects, shader models (from version 1.0 to 3.0), maps of a relief and normals and many other technologies realized in DirectX 9.
One more strong line — surprisingly floppy instrumental basis. Players of musical compositions of the formats MP3, WAV, OGG and MIDI, modules for import different 3D - forms, system of change of weather conditions, and also popular physical engines are integrated into the program
ODE and Newton Game Dynamics which provide realistic falling of bodies, the smooth movement of vehicles and other geympleyny delights. And it only main. In addition to everything listed, there is SDK for writing of new components, modules for "reasonable" search of ways (exact calculation of a path of following of characters and technique from some control mark A in point B), very convenient editors of scripts, and also well debugged network modules (yes multiplayer games are well). In a word, all the most necessary near at hand.
The principal snap of Quest3D — possibility of visual programming of applications. It means that you don't need to know in perfection any programming language, to invent difficult algorithms, to learn different commands. Everything that from you is required — ability to work with the mainframes responding for initialization of a scene, arrangement of light sources and to build logical chains.
Simple example: NPC A — to look round around, to plunge into the car, to follow to mark X with a speed of N km/h and to try to crush the player. We think, you captured an essense.
From other features — the stylish ergonomic interface which gains directly, large library of conventional components (light sources, cameras, logic blocks, effects, 3D - primitives, classes, functions, structures, etc.), the built-in searcher of errors, browsers of all sorts and calibers, support of joy sticks with back coupling and Wii - devices, a big selection of examples, at last, detailed documentation.
VERDICT: Quest3D — the unconditional leader in the market of the multiple objective programs ground under creation of different Real-time-applications, the real find for the beginning developers.
