AgentFX™ is a fast competent 3D-engine offering state-of-the-art features such as real-time shadows with self -shadowing and bump maps combined with powerful portability options that come with the use of Java. AgentFX is unique in combining performance and quality with portability and platform independence.

Main Features:

Real-time shadows
Shadows volumes with self shadowing support
Live dynamic lighting
Bump maps
Octree spatial subdivision
Portal support
Character system with skeleton-based animations

AgentFX features a plug-in based architecture. This enabling technology gives you the possibility to develop plug-ins and support for other rendering technologies. The architecture of AgentFX even allows you to access low-level OpenGL functions.
