Abstract:

IR Editor is the brand new JME2 based world editor developed by Radosław Sypeń (aka Radek) - coordinator and lead programmer of Infernal Reality Team. The editor has been developed since 2008 and it’s still in development phase. The current version is 0.9.0 with lead features listed below:



Basics:

  • Management of user's projects with ability of creating, restoring, copying, closing and deleting projects.
  • Management of editor's configuration giving user opportunity of defining own key shortcuts, editor's layout (skins), rendering subsystem, color schema and much more.
  • Help contents with issue-related topics of use.
  • Undo, redo operations and undo-redo history for modifying the old changes.
  • Cut, copy, paste operations.
  • Very simple and intuitive user's interface.
  • Management of tool tabs.



    Scene:
  • Basic operations of translating, scaling, rotating and bringing to ground surface of scene objects.
  • Diffrent camera views: Free and Relative.
  • Basic geometry addition.
  • Complex geometry addition from tools like Autodesk 3D Studio Max, Blender, Maya and other.
  • Particle effects addition
  • Addition of sun effects.
  • Addition of terrain using generation algorithms which gives the user opportunity to build complex landscapes.
  • Skybox addition.
  • Navigation mesh creation for dynamic scene objects.
  • Importing scene from VRML/X3D formats and JME (binary and XML)
  • Shadow edition
  • Bloom edition
  • Water edition
  • Fog edition
  • Extended management of scene's light state.
  • Sound addition as well as placing environmental effects and music with edition of scene playlists.
  • Edition of basic scene objects properties.
  • Edition of extended scene objects properties like defining the woundable, pickable, destroyable parameters and much more.
  • Full object's states management.

    Cut-scene generation:
  • Simple subsystem for creating and playing real-time recorded cut-scenes.
  • Ability of adding subtitles, adding time intervals
  • Ability of managing the cut-scene's timeline



    Physics:
  • Creating physic simulations
  • Ability of transforming scene objects into static or dynamic physics objects which move in order to physics laws.
  • Full physics management



    Plug-in subsystem:
  • Editor gives users ability to create their own plug-in which may improve editor's functionality
  • The creation of plugins is totally independent of editor's source code
  • The plug-in subsystem gives simple interface to editor’s massage subsystem (for dialog with user) and scene access.

WHOA!  :-o

Looks outstanding.

:-o

Is there a download, or do we just stand in awe at the awesomeness?

unfortunately there is no download currently

Nice work! :-o

Hope we can test it soon!

Do you have an ETA for the release? Also, will the source be released?



I just started writing my own world editor and I wont bother if this will be available anytime soon.

This summer IR Editor should reach stable 1.0 version. It depends only on level designers working with editor and catching any bugs they could discover. No public release is planning currently :slight_smile: but be patient :slight_smile:

I'd like to announce that IR Editor will be available to public usage soon. IR Editor will be available as stand-alone application (without source code). It's name will also change :slight_smile:

Good to hear.


- The creation of plugins is totally independent of editor's source code


So there will be an api for that? Also in the upcoming version?

Yes. There is a small library which provide simple interface between plugin and editor's context system (message system, interacting, etc.) and scene (aka level).

wholy shwit.

What the heck ?!  :-o is it an army behind this ? Looks stunning ! And if its does allow plugins then it's just amazing. How comes this thread didnt get much more comments ??!!

Mayby because I didn't release it yet :slight_smile:

The links to the screenshots doesn't work for me.

I'm so looking forward the first release. So many interesting features like the vrml import !

The website and screenshots seem down.

Is this still an active project?

At the time I left Infernal Reality, the group end up so the website and screenshots are not available. However editor is an active project and still there are some screenshot on the internet ( http://www.gamedev.pl/projects.php?x=view&id=865 ) . I must confess that I thought releasing IR Editor will be piece of cake but it’s not. IR Editor was design to handle specific games developed by Infernal Reality (our last project, which extensibly use IR Editor you can find on yt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maw9hvu8bSA ) so “converting” it to general-purpose editor will take some time.
