Nevrax Library For Linux

Nevrax Library is a platform to create and run a multi-user 3D virtual environment for entertainment purposes. It is used as the core of the Saga of Ryzom (http://www.ryzom.com) a 3D MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game).

Here are some key features of "Nevrax Library":

- Base data types for platform independence. - Debugging, profiling and logging tools and macros. - Optimized math, string manipulation and other functions. - Java-style object serialization. - Pointer management (smart pointers, reference counters.) - Unicode string management. - See NeLMisc for more information.

- Object to object collisions and reactions - Object to landscape collisions and landscape snapping - Logical and blocking collisions. - Path-finding and ray-tracing support.

- Undulating landscapes using bezier patches. - Portal-based streets and interiors. - Landscape streaming for efficient memory utilization. - Dynamic lighting and light mapping. - Component-based object construction. - Multi-Resolution Meshes (MRM) and LODs with LOD subsets. - Support for skinning up to 4 matrices per vertex. - Smooth transitions between animations. - Controllable animation blending. - Advanced particle system including various particle types, simple collision shapes for particles, and a WYSIWYG editor. - See NeL3D for more information.

- Layered approach to implementation allow for any desired level of control. - Framework for quick development of new services. - Management of reception, treatment and transmission of messages to and from other services. - Management of time synchronization - See NeLNet for more information.

- Support for 2D and 3D audio using multiple sound APIs. - Localized environmental sounds. - Music track management - Management of audio environments - See NeLSound for more information.
