Selecting the Best Open Source 3D Games Engines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The creation of a computer game is a complex task and engine games are built to facilitate game development. There are several available engines and each one has different features and purposes. The challenge is to choose the most appropriate for a particular game project. This paper provides a compact and comprehensive overview of the best open source 3D engines and a discussion of the most important features. The evaluated engines that support both Windows and Linux platforms are: Blender Game Engine, Crystal Space, Delta3D, Irrlicht, jMonkey Engine, Ogre3D, OpenSceneGraph and Panda3D.

Open Source 3D Game Engines for Serious Games Modeling
In this chapter we will review some tools and open source Game Engines used for modeling of real scenarios in serious games for training. One of the typical uses of serious games (3D serious games) is specialized training in dangerous tasks or when the training is quite expensive. However, typical games use artificial scenarios, created by artists and created according to the restrictions impos...
متن کاملArchitectural studies of games engines - The quake series
The move of commercial companies to “open-source” their products presents challenges for both the proposing company and the wider open source (OS) communities. The former has to align their source code to the OS practices, while the latter has to cope with large amounts of closelydeveloped code. This paper aims to present relevant data and results from the analysis performed on the Quake family...

Stratagus is an open-source game engine that can be used for artificial intelligence (AI) research in the complex domain of real-time strategy games. It has already been successfully applied for AI studies by several researchers. The focus of this paper is to highlight Stratatgus’ useful features for AI research rather than compare it with other available gaming engines. In particular, we descr...
متن کاملODECAL, a Flexible Open Source Rag Doll Simulation Engine
This paper describes the implementation of ODECAL, a realtime physics powered, rag doll simulation system with animation blending ability. Unlike the traditional key frame animation rag doll system, our animating 3D character can blend into physics state to perform rag doll simulation and vice verse seamlessly. It can even be applied to any form of creatures with bone based articulation. ODECAL...
متن کامل1. Multi-modal system architecture for serious gaming
Human-computer interaction (HCI), especially in the games domain, targets to mimic as much as possible the natural human-to-human interaction, which is multimodal, involving speech, vision, haptic, etc. Furthermore, the domain of serious games, aiming to value-added games, makes use of additional inputs, such as biosensors, motion tracking equipment, etc. In this context, game development has b...
