There’s a new 3D Engine on the block, and it’s called ‘SimplyCube’.
Designed specifically to ease the interactions between 3D graphics and simulation of realistic physics behaviors, the SimplyCube enables any software developer to integrate every asset of 3D simulation in his applications.
While still in development, its a combination of engine and toolbox to merge physics and 3D graphics into a single engine. According to their blog, they are currently porting it from the PC to Windows Phone 7, an interesting choice to be sure. They also eventually it will be available on the Web, the XBox 360, and other platforms.
If you peruse their blog you’ll see some great examples of SimplyCube in use in a wide variety of applications, just as Realtime 3D UAV simulation with MATLAB and 3d marketing product demonstrations.
It boasts a great collection of rendering features like volumetric lighting and global illumination, and support for various physics engines including NVidia’s PhysX. Unfortunately, it’s currently unavailable as they prepare for a final release.
