Recently we've invested a lot in our rendering infrastructure. Here is a writeup of how we made our render pipelines more configurable and deal with changing options at runtime: ezengine.net/pages/devlog...

New sample game made with #ezEngine ! Code and stand-alone binary available here: github.com/jankrassnigg...

3D path finding in #ezEngine:

Area lights have been added to #ezEngine:

Light shafts in #ezEngine:

Recently a community member added weapon sway to our samples, using a visual script. Ignore the crappy test level and placeholder assets, just look at that nicely animated gun waving during walking, running and jumping!

The famous Bistro scene, rendered in #ezEngine.

We've added screen space shadows to #ezEngine. In the video below, a dense vegetation scene tremendously benefits from this, making the leaves appear much more volumetric.

The non-destructive terrain editing in #ezEngine also supports voxel based volumes for caves and complex terrain that heightmaps can't handle. The video also shows the terrain brushes used on a spline to easily author paths and passages. Docs: ezengine.net/pages/docs/t...

We added non-destructive terrain editing to #ezEngine. See the documentation for details: ezengine.net/pages/docs/t...

Here is a DEBUG build of #ezEngine executing 900 individual, complex animation graphs, each blending multiple animation clips, running well enough to develop in. Performance matters, not only in release builds. And in release it's 5x faster, of course.

Release 26.3 of #ezEngine is out! github.com/ezEngine/ezE... Among many other improvements, this release adds a water volume component, custom particle shaders, new spline tools, improved RmlUI, and better visual shader editing. Check out the release notes for more details.
