The LTEstudios 3D Engine and its corresponding SDK (Software Development Kit), which was announced a day or two ago, has just been released for free to the public. The 3D engine is quite powerful, and offers a lot of features which should make 3D homebrew development much easier, with its vast collection of instruction sets and a nicely organized online documentation to boot. Remember, this is just the first release of the engine and its SDK; there will very likely be a ton of new updates to the both of them, as well as to the documentation in the near future. Developers, enjoy and have fun!
