3D Game Studio Extra Edition 7.0

The 3D Game Studio Extra Edition is a software package developed by Sybex-Verlags- und Vertriebs-GmbH for game developers to create 3D games. The software includes tools for creating levels, characters, and terrain, as well as scripting and a physics engine. The Extra Edition version of the software includes additional features such as advanced lighting and shading effects, terrain LOD (level of detail) optimization, and support for third-party plugins.

The level creator allows users to quickly design and build levels using pre-made assets or imported 3D models. The character creator allows users to design custom characters with customizable animations and physics behaviors. The terrain editor allows users to sculpt and paint their own custom terrain, including features such as hills, valleys, and water. All of these elements can then be combined and scripted to create a complete 3D game.

The physics engine included in the software provides realistic physical interactions between objects in the game world. Users can create their own physics behaviors using the scripting language included with the software. Additionally, the Extra Edition includes advanced lighting and shading effects, such as shadows and reflections, that add realism to the game world.

The software also includes a feature to optimize terrain LOD, which reduces the amount of detail on distant terrain to increase performance. The Extra Edition additionally allows for third-party plugins to be used in development. This feature allows users to add functionality to their games beyond what is included in the standard package.

The 3D Game Studio Extra Edition by Sybex-Verlags- und Vertriebs-GmbH is a comprehensive software package tailored for game developers who want to create 3D games with advanced features such as physics interactions, advanced lighting and shading effects, and third-party plugin support.
