Conitec 3D Gamestudio Pro A7 v7.05
 - It was never easier to create 1st or 3rd person action games, role playing games, side scrollers, flight and drive simulators, board games, sports games, online games, real-time presentations, virtual exhibitions... or any other 2D or 3D project you can imagine!
Gamestudio is the first all-in-the-box game development system, used by over 100,000 artists, hobbyists, programmers or game development companies across the world. Our clients range from kids who use Gamestudio for their first steps into computer programming, to multinational corporations who use the software for creating all sorts of simulations and advertising games.
Gamestudio is for everyone. It offers three levels of access in one single package:
Beginner: Click together games or prototypes from pre-assembled game templates. A simple action game can be built in a few hours this way.
Advanced: Use our tutorial workshops to learn programming, and create commercial quality applications with the easy and effective lite-C programming language. Use the included level and model editors to create the artwork for your game.
Professional: Include Gamestudio's A7 engine into your software using the Source Development Kit and your own preferred language like C++ or Delphi. Use Gamestudio's straightforward art pipeline based on the FBX format for creating your levels and models with high-end editors such as MAX? or MAYA?.
The A7 Engine - Version 7.07
The engine is the core of the development system - it generates the 3D image and controls the behavior of the virtual world. Gamestudio's A7 virtual reality engine was developed in 2007. Its new Adaptive Binary Tree scene manager switches seamlessly from indoor to outdoor sceneries. The brand new lighting engine overcomes the 8 lights limit of today's 3D hardware and supports an unlimited number of static and dynamic shadow-throwing light sources. Programmers can use plugins for adding new effects and features. The simple and straigthforward C-style DLL interface allows painless access to the engine from all programming languages.
The A7 engine is regularly updated in order to support the newest features of the newest 3D cards. Free A7 updates are released about every six weeks.
