During the past years, 3D technology on the personal computers has advanced greatly what we used to know.
Although, the complexity of the new 3D accelerators, API like OpenGL, Direct3D, Metal or Vulkan only gives low level rendering functions and you have to do your own 3D objects format and light. To do so, you have to use specific software routines which handles the rendering of many objects, polygons and light to the 3D accelerators. That is what V3X basically is.
There are many others 3D engine on the scene, many of them public domain, but they are very simple and restricted.
V3X was designed from the beginning to provide a solid but flexible interface for adding both objects and video effects to your program.
Also a support for network, audio and 2D processing is provided with V3X as separated extension which tightly integrate 2D/3D graphics, audio and network solution and allow developers to unleash their full potential by allowing them to focus their development effort on content and gameplay rather than the technology itself.
