RenderWare (RW) is computer and video game middleware from Criterion Software.

Description

RenderWare is a 3D API graphics rendering engine used in computer games, Active Worlds, and some VRML browsers. RW is developed by Criterion Software (which used to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canon but is now owned by Electronic Arts).

Programming languages such as VRML use rendering software such as RW, Direct3D, OpenGL, etc. in order to display 3D graphics.

RenderWare 2.x-, on the other hand, has its own self-rendering, internal scripting language, RWX (RenderWare script). RenderWare 3+ dropped support for RWX and focused instead on a binary model file format (which earlier RenderWare versions contained in a different format), making RWXes incompatible with RW3+.

With RW4 coming, Criterion is slated to again drop support for RW3.x's BSP and DFF file formats, thus changing model/world formats yet again.

RenderWare is available for use in Windows based PC applications, and consoles such as PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox.
