Create 2D and 3D games easily.

The framework contains two well differentiated types of Actors, 3D Actors and Node2D, a base class from which all 2D object is scene are drawn. A hierarchy of Node2d Actors allow complex animations and compositions.


Full Multi-core Support.

ShadingZen exploits multicre CPU and GPUs by partitioning the game logic and rendering tasks, which are then sent down to available pool threads for computation and rendering.


Easy animations.

Move Actors around with predefined animations or create your own. Forget about keeping track on what to draw in the next frame to keep your animation running.
