NEW! Ca3D-Engine source code licenses now available! See below!

Following a great and successful Games Convention 2008 in Leipzig, Germany, we've doubled our efforts in order to complete the latest release of the Ca3D-Engine:

The demo downloads for Windows and Linux are available at the Downloads page. They include the live demos, the Ca3DE World Editor CaWE and all tools to make new maps, as well as C++ sample source code and the scripts of the DeathMatch sample game.

The latest 8.09 version implements a huge number of improvements and usability enhancements to the Ca3DE World Editor "CaWE", the powerful and easy-to-use world editor that is shipped with the demo releases and makes the creation of new worlds for the Ca3D-Engine convenient and easy. We've brought all our experiences and all feed-back since the previous release into the new version in order to provide you with the best CaWE mapping experience ever.

The full change log is too detailed this time to be reproduced, but can be called up here. It includes an entirely rewritten and now graphics-driver independent "picking" (object selection and manipulation by left mouse button clicks in the 3D views) feature; enhancements to the Selection, New Terrain, Edit Terrains, Carve and New Light tools; new default textures (two grass, sand and rock) for terrains; and many more.

Even better, Carsten Fuchs Software, the developers of the Ca3D-Engine, are now offering full source-code licenses for the Ca3D-Engine! Licenses are available for

• students
• independent developers
• professional studios
• educational institutes

All licenses are reasonably priced so that also students and independent developers can use the Ca3D-Engine: The Standard License can be purchased for $325 (USD), students receive up to 50% discount.

All licenses include the full source code for the Ca3D-Engine, the 3D World Editor "CaWE", all libraries, all tools and the DeathMatch sample game. For each license, the price includes free access to all future updates!
