Feature Spotlight
Project Ares is a new "What You See Is What You Play" editor for Crystal Space and CEL. Check out its demonstration video.
In the last version of Crystal Space (1.4), a new specialized mesh was introduced for advanced animation. It mixes vertex-based animations with skeletal animations through an extensible and flexible animation blending tree system.
This new animated mesh has recently received many further improvements, with the addition of new animation nodes such as the 'Ragdoll', 'Inverse Kinematics', 'LookAt' and 'Retarget' nodes, but also with a dedicated hair mesh and the integration of physical soft bodies for clothes and props.
These features are just a small part of what will be available in the incoming 2.0 release of Crystal Space...

Previous Featured Projects
open Outcast is a free and portable action-adventure that wants to become the unofficial successor of the commercial game "Outcast". After the official sequel "Outcast 2" was canceled because the game studio went bankrupt, a bunch of fans decided to create their own sequel using free technology. Although the project was built atop Crystal Space when featured, it is now based upon Cryengine 2. The older Crystal Space-based tech-demo is still available. Project website: www.openoutcast.org
