Revision as of 23:50, 10 June 2004 by Eep² (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Developed by Criterion Software Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canon, Incorporated), RenderWare (RW) is the name of the three-dimensional (3D) applications programming interface (API) graphics rendering engine used in computer games, Active Worlds (AW), and VRML browsers.
RenderWare is not VRML (virtual reality modelling language). VRML is a 3D modelling programming language that needs a rendering engine like RenderWare, Direct3D, OpenGL, etc. in order to render it. RenderWare 2.x-, on the other hand, has its own self-rendering, internal scripting language, RenderWare scripting (RWX). RenderWare 3+ dropped support for RWX and focused instead on a binary model file format (which earlier RenderWare versions had but not in the same format), making RWXes incompatible with RW3+.
