The first version of the engine was known as W3D ("Westwood 3D") was highly modified version of SurRender 3D engine, developed by Hybrid Graphics Ltd. Westwood used W3D for Emperor: Battle for Dune and updated for Command & Conquer: Renegade.
After Westwood was bought by Electronic Arts the engine was further updated for Command & Conquer: Generals, and renamed to SAGE. The rendering part remains nearly identical to the W3D engine, but most other elements have been redesigned from the ground up.
The SAGE engine allows for dynamic lighting that casts realistic shadows and realistic reflections on most objects. High quality visual effects are now possible with the SAGE engine powering games. One example of a unique effect is the stop-motion camera. Blow up a gas station, for example, and the action will freeze in mid-explosion, and the camera will quickly pan around the environment, revealing pieces of debris and shrapnel suspended in the air, before the action promptly resumes. The SAGE engine also allows games to take place during different times of the day, with realistic lighting and shadow changes, etc.
A new, highly modified version is now used to power Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.

All right, I have good news, and bad news for you guys.
The good news is that:
-I'm already finished the WIP of 2 multigunner turret types. They aren't final but it's a solid start.
The bad news is that:
-Lots of EQAO testing and homework will probably push me from doing much modeling in the month of May.
And finally for the media section. I present to you the... You know what, ignore the fancy stuff and I'll get straight to the pictures.
The original multigunner turret
and shotgun multigunner turret
There aren't final, as I mentioned but it is undecided weather the turrets are gonna be presets or that they must be controlled by the players, when inside.
Recruitment:
Sad to say, we did not get any new members for the team (except for Lantor, he is still being tested for his "skills").
Again, we are recruiting just about in every field, so if you want this game to be released into the public, join today!
To join you must
- be able to show a sample of your work
- commit (not join and the run away)
- be mature (not insulting other team members)
- has time
- can finish within a reasonable amount of time (not spending a whole year on something as simple as a molotove cocktail bottle)
If you can demonstrait all those things, please PM abcd5799.
And that's all for this update!
