Hey,
Here is the project that I have been working on for the last month or so. I call it the Iridium Engine. Designed for the upcoming game "Ground Tactics," Iridium features cutting edge real-time rendering as an add-on to 3D Gamestudio. Iridium is built upon a deferred rendering architecture that allows for an extremely high number of polygons and dynamic lights to be rendered without slowing down the framerate. So far, using pixel shader 3.0, over 100 dynamic lights can be rendered attributing to ambient, diffuse, specular, and emissive terms.
Iridium also features real-time Ambient Mapping and real-time Radiosity Mapping to increase the realism of the scene. Some major features implemented in Iridium include:
-Dynamic ray-traced reflections and lighting
-high quality relief mapped enviroment with different shaders for multiple hardware capabilities
-Multi-Plane Parallel-Split Shadow Mapping with an advanced derivative solver for extremely soft and accurate shadow mapping.
-shadow mapping for up to 8 omni-directional lights and sunlight.
-512x sampling SSAO with relief-mapping support.
-enviromental illumination from all sources.
-Ultra High Dynamic Range (UHDR) rendering offers twice the gamma output as regular HDR (this is Pixel Shader to Screen, no value clamping!)
-scene managment for sustained fps.
-high fps - around 90 with 0.5 million polys on most average gaming PCs!

I hope you like the engine. The engine is currentley in version 4.0b and is still in development.
