Обширное решение для простого и быстрого создания промышленных 3D-сред в реальном времени. В комплект входит множество конструкторов.

Используйте редактор движка для создания вашего производного продукта. Технически, ваш продукт может быть модификацией редактора NeoAxis.

Архитектура движка и его редактора являются расширяемой системой. Редактор может быть расширен дополнительными функциями. К нему могут быть добавлены другие подредакторы, текущие могут быть изменены. Лишние функции могут быть отключены. В результате разрабатываемый специализированный продукт может по сути быть модификацией редактора NeoAxis. Это дает много преимуществ по сравнению с разработкой с нуля.

Это общая платформа/редактор, в которую добавлены возможности 3D, 2D движков. Это означает, что можно добавлять другие типы продуктов внутри редактора. Например, пакет трехмерного моделирования, CAD систему или что-то еще.

— NeoAxis Store support.
— Sketchfab support.

It includes:
— Multi-threaded scene management (selecting of objects from a scene for rendering).
— Multi-threaded preparation of objects for rendering with automatic instancing.
— Multi-threaded low-level graphics backend (output to GPU).

The extensive solution for easily and fast making industrial real-time 3D environments. The kit includes many constructors.

Use the editor of the engine to build your derivative product. Technically, your product may be a modification of the NeoAxis editor.

The architecture of the engine and its editor are an extensible system. The editor can be expanded with additional functionality. Other sub-editors can be added to it, and current ones can be changed. Extra functionality can be disabled. As a result, the being developed specialized product can essentially be a modification of the NeoAxis editor. This provides many advantages over development from scratch.

This is a common platform/editor in which the capabilities of 3D and 2D engines are added. This means that it’s possible to add other types of products inside the editor. For example, a 3D modelling package, CAD system or something else.
