Construct is a development studio geared for creating DirectX games and software in a WYSIWYG environment.
Construct is an easy to use, yet powerful development software for games and applications based on DirectX9. It includes an event based system for defining how the game or application will behave, in a visual, human-readable way.
Objects can be layered allowing for advanced effects and parallaxing, and individual layers can be zoomed in and out freely with high detail. The Debugger also allows you to play with the nuts and bolts and help identify problems. With over 60 plugins ranging from Tiled Backgrounds to various window controls, Constructs capabilities are ever-expanding thanks to the C Plugin SDK.
Create games and applications with:
- Super fast hardware-accelerated DirectX 9 graphics engine
- Add multiple pixel shaders for advanced special effects, including lighting, HDR, distortion, lenses and more
- Physics engine for realistic object behavior
- Place object on different layers for organizing display, parallaxing, or whole-layer effects
- Debugger giving you complete control over all aspects of your game for testing purposes.
- Smaller, faster specialized runtime for applications
- 50 plugins ranging from Tiled Background to database access

Enhancements:
- [FIX] Closing any project/template will no longer crash
- [FIX] Dragging actions in Chrono view now uses a vertical caret instead of a horizontal one
- [FIX] Crash in some animations when using sub-animations.
- [FIX] MessageBox system action now has correct parameter order

- [CHANGE] Many dialogs standardized (same appearance)
- [CHANGE] Mid and Find system expressions now use 1-based indices (previously 0-based, anything 0-based in Construct should be reported as a bug)
- [CHANGE] Expressions ScrollXLeft, ScrollXRight, ScrollYTop and ScrollYBottom can now optionally take a layer param to get the values for a specific layer.
- [ADD] Keyboard shortcuts to Animator Bar - delete, C, V (note control does not have to be held to copy/paste frames)
- [ADD] New XHTMLTree control in Project bar to allow dragging and dropping (in future will expand Project Bar for more features)

Lumina 3D is a flexible plattform independent development environment for GLSL shaders. It uses ECMA-script for tools and emulating opengl engines.
In Lumina 3D all the "world" objects are viewed and manipulated in a tree-like graphical interface. The scripts themselves are positioned on the right side of the applications main window and are undockable for user convenience.
Main features:
- Tangent and UV coords will be exported if the mesh has UvCoords.
- Bones will be exported if the mesh has a armature as parent. The Bone number (integer number) will be added to the weight (range 0.0 to 0.99990).
- Poses will be exported too, but this Lumina version cant import that tag.
System requirements:
- Opengl 2.0 capable card (GLSL, VBO and FBO) a GF8 is recommended

Enhancements:
- "Call" function for World and Nodes (required for depth peeling, deferred rendering and HDR)
- remove deprecated code (multipass framework)
