Hello,

I am new to video game development. I am very interested in 3D Game Studio. I am hoping someone can explain the important differences between the "Professional" and "Commercial" editions.

I am most interested in what the differences in these two features means:

Trial Mode Function:
Commerical=no, Professional=yes

Plugin/Engine SDK:
Commerical=open source, Professional=full license


I am also interested in what the difference in these features are:

Terrain:
Commercial=chunked, Professional=chunked+LOD

Level Editor:
Commerical=yes, Professional=distributable

Scene Manager:
Commercial=ABT, Professional=ABT+BSP

Levels of Detail:
Commerical= manual, Professional=automatic

Bones Animation:
Commerical=yes, Professsional=+weights

Logo Display:
Commerical=startup, Professional=customizable

Trial Mode Function:
Commerical=no, Professional=yes

Plugin/Engine SDK:
Commerical=open source, Professional=full license

Thank you for any insights.
