SIO2 3D engine at Under The Bridge

Here’s something we stumbled across while checking a post on the previously mentioned here cocos2d-iphone 2D open source engine for the iPhone: SIO2 a 3D open source engine for the iPhone! Some of its particularly nifty feature list entries:

Bullet physics engine

OpenAL positional and ambient sound

Theora video

Blender content creation

Lua scripting

That looks pretty darn impressive as a free foundation to build on, doesn’t it now?

YouTube demo video here; Google Code project here; main website here.

And as an aside, here is a roundup of this and other free and commercial 3D engines available and rumoured for iPhone development. Looks like we certainly won’t be short of options soon!
