Xtreme3D is a cross-language 3D graphics engine for Windows based on GLScene. It has a rich feature set, including custom shaders, wide variety of asset formats support, built-in effects, physics, collision and ray casting.
Xtreme3D originally was created for Game Maker Classic. It makes possible to create full-featured 3D games with modern graphics and reasonable framerate with Game Maker that was intended mainly for 2D games and provides limited built-in 3D capabilities. Original Xtreme3D was a closed-source project, and it was abandoned by the author. Xtreme3D 2.0.2.0 (2006) was the last official release. So we in Russian Xtreme3D community made an attempt to rewrite the engine, maintaining the API as close to original as possible. This work began in 2009 and was completed in 2016. This project is not connected in any way with the original Xtreme3D developer, all code was written from scratch.
The engine is written in Delphi 12 and based on a modified version of GLScene 2.2. The code can be compiled with free Delphi Community Edition.

- Materials and textures. Materials can be loaded from script files
- GLSL shaders
- Built-in easy to use shaders, including cel shader, bump/parallax shader, phong shader, multimaterial shader, etc.
- Multitexturing. Materials can have up to 8 texture slots accessible from shaders. Fixed-pipeline multipass multitexturing is also supported
- Popular image formats support for textures (BMP, JPG, PNG, TGA, DDS)
- Various 3D model formats support (3DS, OBJ, LWO, B3D, MD2, MD3, MD5, SMD and many other)
- Procedural mesh construction from vertex/normal/texcoord/index lists - you are free to design your own model format

- 3D text and billboards
- Skyboxes
- Procedural skydome with sun, stars and animated day/night cycle
- Procedural trees
- Lines and curves rendering (Cubic, Bezier, NURBS)
- Curves can be used to control object movement
- Discrete LOD system
- Offscreen rendering via p-buffers or FBOs
- Collision detection between bounding spheres, oriented bounding boxes and meshes
- Raycasting
- Built-in game-oriented collision systems (DCE, FPSManager)
- Integrated rigid body physics using ODE engine
- Kraft physics engine integration
- Ragdolls
- Octree and quadtree to speed-up rendering and collision tests
- Loading resources from GLScene PAK archives
- Keyboard and mouse input
- Window creation and management
- Audio and video playback
- ...plus a lot more!
Despite Xtreme3D was created primarily for GameMaker, it can be used with almost any language. Currently we provide autogenerated C and Python 3 bindings.
