DX Studio is a complete integrated development environment for creating interactive 3D graphics. The system comprises of both a real-time 3D engine and a suite of editing tools, and is the first product to offer a complete range of tools in a single IDE. The system includes both 2D & 3D layout editors, and allows full JavaScript control of everything from changing the background to editing meshes in real-time. You can also command and control your documents from outside of the player using the powerful ActiveX/COM interface. Using DX Studio you can build complete real-time interactive applications, simulations or games, for standalone use or for embedding in other Microsoft Office/Visual Studio applications.
The engine behind DX Studio uses DirectX 9.0c to make the most of 3D graphics hardware acceleration, and includes support for the latest pixel and vertex shader effects found on the more powerful 3D graphics cards.
The playback engine in both EXE and ActiveX DLL forms can be redistributed without any further royalties.
DX Studio is available in Freeware , Standard and Professional editions.

Maplet is now *free*!
Maplet is an extremely easy to use modelling tool, designed to make creating ‘indoor’ style scenery as painless as possible.
Maplet is a ‘Constructive Solid Geometry’ based modeller. This means that instead of modelling with polygons, vertices and so on, all modelling is performed with solid ‘primitives’. Using operations such as ‘carve’ and ‘fill’, solid primitives are combined together to create models.
This modeling approach allows you to create highly detailed models very rapidly. It also guarantees the production of geometrically ‘correct’ models which is very important for precise collision detection and optimal rendering.
Maplet features a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor:
All editing is performed in full 3D, using a ‘reference plane’ which can easily be moved up or down.
Maplet also features a ‘lightmapper’. This tool generates special lightmap textures based on lights placed within the scene, creating realistic light and shadow effects.
Maplet can export either .B3D or .X format models. Unfortunately, the .X format does not support features required for lightmapping, so lightmaps can only be produced for .B3D models.

The C4 Engine is one of the most technologically advanced 3D game engines available today for the Windows and MacOS X platforms. Its architecture is the product of many years of careful and clean design led by computer graphics author Eric Lengyel, making it one of the easiest and trouble-free engines to program.
The C4 Engine contains a comprehensive suite of robustly implemented game programming tools. Not only is it a powerhouse of a graphics engine, but it also includes integrated support for sound, music, networking, input devices, resource management, and much more. See the features page for details, or head over to the download page to see the demo in action.
The engine is reasonably priced for independent developers at $50 (US) per programmer, and the source code for the engine, demo game, and all tools are included with the license. Educational site licenses are also available to institutions who wish to use C4 as a teaching tool. (See the Licensing page.)
C4 continues to evolve at a fast pace, with new releases being made approximately once per month. All licensees get free updates to the entire engine forever. There are no renewal fees, subscriptions, or additional fees for add-on packs.
