Delta3D

Delta3D is an open source game and simulation engine.

Specifically, Delta3D is a fully-featured game engine appropriate for a wide variety of uses including training, education, visualization, and entertainment.

Delta3D offers features specifically suited to the Modeling and Simulation and DoD communities such as High Level Architecture (HLA), After Action Review (AAR), large scale terrain support, and SCORM Learning Management System (LMS) integration.

The primary goal of Delta3D is to provide a single, flexible Application Programming Interface with the basic elements needed by all visualization applications. In addition to the underlying components, Delta3D provides a variety of tools such as the Simulation, Training, and Game Editor (STAGE), the BSP Compiler, the particle editor, a stand-alone model viewer, and a HLA Stealth Viewer.
