Alternativa3D 5.0 (Milestone 1)
18.04.2008 Anton VolkovFirst of all we would like to say that some silence in blog was connected with very hard work, part of which is our beloved 3D-engine at its 5th version. Now we can tell that new architecture was worth working on it. With a great pleasure we created these two small demos for you, to show engine abilities.

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 we’ll 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 фand educational interactive projects.
We hope that you share our passion. It is spring outside, everything grows and develops, so we are.

Just amazing! Well done, keep it up!
You say that it can be used on 3D banner, how much does the engine takes? I mean, how many bytes?

Absolutely stunning! Do you intend to release this at all? (even commercially it would be worth it!)
18.04.2008 в 08:17
Incredible work and an awesome display of your engine! Seriously impressed ! What’s your plans with the engine ?
18.04.2008 в 10:06
Wow! You pulled off great FPS and isometric capabilities. This really is becoming quite a platform. Details on usage would be good to have. Depending on how good the isometric side runs scaling, it could be easily an RTS platform.

The performance is nothing short of stunning, and the well crafted demo’s are a huge bonus.

Never have I been more impressed than with these demos! This is amazingly brilliant! I absolutely cannot wait to be able to play with whatever programs/games are created with this platform.
Keep up the good work. You should accept donations - I’m sure many would be glad to help.
18.04.2008 в 17:44
This is a truly amazing piece of work, I am very impressed with the overall quality of the demos.
What does “milestone 1″ mean, what are the other milestones and when will we get to see something :)
And when are planning on releasing a first commercial version ?

18.04.2008 в 20:27
Amazing. The Doom-like demo is awesome.
I really see an isometric game on the way. I am curious about the optimization and how it could be customized for rendering only the necessary faces for a game w/ one viewing angle (e.g. Diablo, older Sim City games). Is this something easily achieved? Basically I’d like to render the polygons in the top, front left and front right since they are the only visible planes of a 3D object (aside from any transparent objects).
Thanks for creating these demos. Truly awesome.

I cannot not leave another comment … the performance is SCARY.
18.04.2008 в 21:53
I hate you.
I love you.
I can’t decide. It’s all so confusing.
This is just my roundabout way of saying: this is amazing. Congratulations. Now get some sleep so you can get on with milestone 2.
18.04.2008 в 22:37
I repeat like some people: unbelievable, incredible, impressive … !
18.04.2008 в 23:04
This is great! Keep it up! Nice performance and graphics balance. Thanks for letting us see the triangles, that impresses me more, to see it working!
And to see what you have in the queue! Lighting, mapping, physics and interactivity! Prime!

No z-ordering problems, no camera clipping plane trouble, impeccable collision detection, great framerate … Now if you could only say on what terms you could give us access to it … my phuking life would change :P

Sorry, if you knew that already :)

awesome work!!
So, what are your plans for your release? Will everybody be able to use it?
What about the source?

I hope you guys will make it opensource :D

Wow.. amazing work.. i new that AS3 was a major improvement on the previous versions.. but this is ridiculous! I have no idea how you manage to achieve your frame rate but i guess it involves quite a lot of complicated maths.. The mad thing is you seem to be able to get a better frame rate in 3D than i can in a damn simple parallax scroller… am rather put out if i’m honest.. lol :)
I shall be watching this space, you guys are scary… ;)

Do I see rectangular objects? It’s not only triangles when I press T to see wireframes… Is this part of the engine features or just a glitch in showing the wireframes?
28.04.2008 в 18:57
Are the shadows “baked into” the textures? Half of what makes this look so damn amazing is the lighting - but then I press “T” I don’t see any polygons for the shadows, leading me to believe that the shading, lighting, etc., is part of the textures, and so your lighting calculations are optimized and kept to a minimum… ?

Michiel van der Ros: probably you’re talking about isometric example. Perspective corrected triangulation definitely works with triangles :)
Glen: yes, shadows are baked in these examples. We’re working hard to bring up real lighting too.
Thank you people, please stay tuned. More interesting things to come (but it takes a lot of time to really polish them).

Cool stuff, but in the isometric, is the perspective meant to be inverted? Things get larger as the distance increases, which isn’t really how that whole thing is supposed to work.
