TV3D-SDK 6.3 and 6.5 Prerelease
TV3D Complete Features List
The TV3D SDK is an extensive library for 2D and 3D development for games, simulations, and 3D applications. Each of the features listed below can be configured to operate in many different ways, and can be combined to make a unique 3D experience. All of the features have been created for both the novice and advanced programmer alike, with a harmony of simplicity and flexibility being a primary development goal.
Rendering System
The core of the TV3D SDK is a highly optimized rendering engine written in C++ and based upon the DirectX 9.0c platform from Microsoft. Using hundreds of built in shaders that adapt to your hardware, you are ready to take advantage of the hardware of today, and tomorrow.
