..hey guys, maybe someone already post similar question, but I find this game engine very interesting for price they offering 500US$ (same as Torque, but with much more SDK)...what you think about it??
http://www.powerrender.com/2006/homepage.htm It has a pretty good reputation, but I think using it for a game requires a lot of work due to its complexity. When you got a team of specialists and you want to produce a AAA game using latest technology then it may be a good choice, but I guess for sparetime bedroom productions as we know it's probably too heavy.
Things like "Maya exporter" describes the class you need to buy a ticket for.
I played a game produced with it on PS2. Graphics were nice, smooth framerates, but every now and then the sound would cut out and only the background music would play. I think it was called NBA Ballers.
