Monolith Productions | Released Sep 30, 1998

General Features

Object-Oriented Design:

Built-in Editors

•	World Edit is similar to the DEdit environment creator in Jupiter with enhancements to support Jupiter EX's new rendering and visibility systems as well as Havok Physics. World Edit allows level designers to create dynamic 3D environments, worlds, levels, structures and lighting with one easy-to-use tool. The level designer also uses World Edit to populate the world with objects and interactive items.
•	Jupiter EX features the latest version of ModelEdit, which has been extended to include improved UI and changes to support Havok Physics. ModelEdit ensures models are optimized to interact correctly with environments and other objects. Artists can also use ModelEdit to define specific properties, assign texture IDs, attach objects to models and manipulate animation data.
•	FxEdit is used to create and modify visual effects. The tool enables the creation of in-game visual effects without requiring a recompile, thereby increasing the efficiency of the design and implementation of special effects. The latest version of FxEdit has been updated with an improved user interface as well as more robust and efficient effects.
•	Jupiter EX includes custom plug-ins for 3D Studio Max and Maya that allow developers to export world geometry as well as character models. The model exporters also include support for skinning, animation blending, level of detail, and Havok Physics.
