what does everybody uses beside their own engine?

category: general [glöplog]

Hey,

I was wondering, every democoder writes a little 3dengine at some point.
But what opensource 3dengines have u guys ever used?
(and liked it?)

V3X?
Iris?

Why would someone use an opensource 3d engine?

Demoscene (well, the coder's part) is all about writing your own engine. Not to mention it's fun! :D

We stole the 3d engine from Peer.

hmmm, I'm just thinkin...because creativity & technoligy is always in motion..like moving from owncoded-3droutines to openg/Directx api...

Sometimes I dislike fixing engine-code because I'm in the middle of coding an effect.
Mayber my coding/engine sucks big time, maybe I should stop coding or maybe this is just a temporary phase.

thnx anyways for the perspectives!

ok my heart is broken, seriously :) . Well the thing is, don't try to code an engine or don't you stop coding. The thing is, let the engine be coded by itself upon your needs. Like just code that damn effect no one cares about the background code, no one will know if it's good or bad, and even if we'll know we won't care. It really doesn't solve anything if you are this perfectionist. This will lead to you finishing nothing. So, if you don't want to code an engine don't code it, just code your demo. Then when the demo is finished check the structure, bang you'll see that you have also coded an engine too.

"engine" is a terrible word.

i don't have a engine, i just have a routine to draw me some 3d, the rest is hardcoded.

There are some demos made with professional engines, by coders working on them. However, of course this is kept quiet about since usually companies doesn't want to be associated with all the gay pron contained in these typical demos.
