03 KEY CONCEPTS
HOW O3DE WORKS
Open 3D Engine (O3DE) provides a complete, end-to-end development environment that consists of code, scripts, tools, editors, and systems that help you build your project:
Core
Modules
Supplied by the O3DE software development kit (SDK), that provide math, memory management, serialization, event messaging, and more.
Authoring
Tools
Such as the Editor and related applications for placing objects in a level, adding components, and scripting logic.
Submodules
(Gems)
To add features and functionality, from materials, textures, and models, to scripting editors, to entire runtime systems such as the Atom renderer, AI, and physics.
Asset Pipeline Tools
For converting, optimizing, and bundling assets.
Build system
To build and package a shippable launcher.
Workflow
When you compile a project, O3DE’s build scripts pull in all the pieces that are specified in your project’s configuration. When built, your project will only use the parts of the O3DE SDK that you included in your configuration. Likewise, the asset bundling and management tools ensure you only ship the assets that your project requires.
04 KEY FEATURES
CREATE IN THE OPEN
Create captivating experiences with the Open 3D Engine using a suite of tools wrapped in a modular framework. Developed for cutting-edge, real-time graphics, and complex interactions.
Flexible Runtime
Scripting
Build runtime logic with scripting environments for all experience levels to speed experimentation and iteration, leveraging visual scripting with Script Canvas, and Lua scripting language.
Physically-based
photorealistic renderer
Create content using the latest multi-threaded, data-driven rendering technology that supports modern rendering pipelines.
Robust
Networking
Construct multiplayer games, large virtual worlds and complex simulations, supported by high-performance, low-latency 3D transmission performance.
Terrain
Performance
Craft massive, immersive worlds with a terrain system optimized to support areas up to 64.64 km.
