Upcoming 3D engine for aspiring PSP developers [Update 1]

The original games in the homebrew market aren't too impressive graphically, but maybe that's because they've been stuck in two dimensions. LTEstudios has revealed a demo of their upcoming free 3D engine for PSP at their official site. It comes loaded with these features for you aspiring developers:

  • Powerful and customizable 2D GUI

  • Character animation system

  • Particle effects

  • Billboards

  • Dynamic Lights

  • Powerful 2D with alpha, blend, etc..

  • Six image formats supported (.bmp, .png, .jpg, . pcx, .tga, .psd)

  • Eight mesh formats supported (.md2, .bsp, .x, .3ds, .obj, .dmf, .dae, .ms3d)

  • Fonts support

  • Collision and physics integrated

  • Powerful terrain system

Will this be a refreshing jolt in the homebrew community? I hope so, because I'd love to see some original games content created by PSP fans.

[Thanks, steve!]
