Most of you know 3D Rad v6! Its a great little engine I'm using for various prototypes, product visualisation, etc.

The great news is that since yesterday it is FREE! Compiler and all!!!

It's free caus the product don't sell anymore !

To little serious game making there are lot lot more solid solutions and affordable !
Why using (fighting to use, learn code, epxorters etc ...) a product that won't evolve anymore.

For prototype you can use A7,Unity etc ...

Ratchet, is there any post by you that is positive in any way?

If you dont think this is a viable solution, just ignore the topic, dont try to manipulate other users into thinking negative! Everyone has a right to see/try/judge.

And in my honest opinion prototyping in Rad is far, far faster than A7 or Unity, i cant even start to compare... and I've been on this board since A4 and kept my eye on Unity since... i dont even remember wink

nuclear winter, I downloaded the engine yesterday, and it gives a fast start.
I am interested in such a thing, because I make workshops about game making with kids. I'm looking for a completely freeware solution, because I don't want to force the kids to buy anything, in case that they want to proceed game making after workshop.
Are there more options than making a race game, or walking or flying around?

Here is a Very Basic Game Editor solution that I scripted for the kids:

http://www.opserver.de/ubb7/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=282220#Post282220

The advance against the yet free RAD3D is that I can extend - and the kids if they get familiar with Lite-C - the set of functions easily.

I couldn't find anything where I actually can write my own scripts in RAD3D.

Pappenheimer: The website tells that 3d RAD has a scripting language.

It also looks like it has shaders (bump and env mapping) stencil shadows and shadow mapping and second uv-set for lightmaps. There are rigid body physics and collision.
But I miss any comment about scene management.

But for teaching kids it could really be a good alternative.

Yes it can, no watermark or royalties...
also it works great with OSA Kit (web browser plugin), if you search the forum you can find a couple of projects using it.
Also there is this guy Mic (he is actually in the game development industry) that has a really great project of destructible vehicles

ragdoll youtube video

my arcade racer big-ass HDTV test with bump, specular, bloom, blur, etc...

MIc's destructible car test check out his videos for more recent versions.

I believe he had this demo in playable form somewhere.

Is the code open source ?
Caus it could have coders bringing lot of interesting new features to the existing base !
