The Russian Alternativa Team just put out some truly awesome demos of this engine (with a full rewrite 5.0 milestone 1).

Aternativa3D tech specs :

Alternativa3D tech specs:

* Signals system — only nesessary calculations;
* BSP — quality polygon sorting, “sharp” crossings;
* n-gons support;
* reusing layers (only changed regions redrawing, polygons are independent);
* objects hierarchy;
* only necessary matrix, coords and UVs recalculating;
* perspective correction — dynamic triangulation;
* collision detection.

Isometric mode was also optimized and now works much faster.

And this is not all. In a future they will create and implement some new features:

* dynamic lighting and shadows (point and directional lights);
* bump lighting;
* parallax mapping;
* automatic UV-mapping;
* sprites, 3D-sprites;
* sprite lighting;
* texture objects;
* Global Illumination imitation;
* sprite pre-render system (phases render on server using uploaded 3D-models);
* animation system (including inverse kinematics);
* 3D-objects interactivity;
* physics simulation.

Besides that, Alternativa3D engine is already adapted for coming Flash Player 10. Texture correction and lighting will work faster.

This technology applications are rather wide:

* 3D online first- and third person games;
* architecture visualisation;
* multyuser entertainment media;
* promo-sites;
* advertising (including “3D-banners”);
* science and educational interactive projects.
