The Delta3D Open Source Engine is a unified platform that provides a single flexible API. It contains the basic elements needed by all visualization applications. A variety of tools are provided to developers, including a Simulation Training and Game Editor, a BSP Compiler, a particle editor, a stand-alone model viewer, and a High-level architecture Stealth Viewer. It also offers a large number of architectural libraries for building, modifying, and rendering models.
Delta3D is available as a free download. The source code is available for downloading. You can use it for any type of simulation or game development. You should remember that it is not a finished product. This is why it is essential to utilize support applications, examples, and tests. Moreover, you need to download a Source Control application and compiler to build the game. These two are required to install a working copy of Delta3D. You should also keep in mind that Delta3D's support applications will not be fully functional until you've installed them.
When you install Delta3D on your system, it will automatically detect the hardware configuration, but you will need to install the corresponding external dependency files. These require about 5MB of disk space and are free to download. However, if you're using Windows 2008, you'll need to install the latest version of the dtAgeiaPhysX. The installation instructions are the same for both versions, but you can change the name of the dtAgeia PhysX library to match your needs.
