New Lighting Demo
The lightmap generation tool runs in the player in real-time! This demo shows off placing lights at runtime and still getting nice soft shadows in the lightmaps:-

COMING SOON

You need more!? :-) Well if you insist - coming in the next release are some improved skin handling functions in both the editor (create/edit) and player (fast playback/shadowing). We're also adding some usability tools, such as a Wizard for dropping a first person walkthrough into a scene.

Don't forget, if you have any feature requests, please do take a moment to post your ideas to the forum.

Many thanks for taking an interest in our product.

The DX Studio Team

It seems it is a pain to import models even in the most popular format
For the rest I am favourably impressed
Is anyone using DX Studio on regular basis ?

i've tried importing NON animated models and they all import well (textures and materials), but when i try to edit it in the model editor it explodes (polys and verts flying all around)

Again a bug issue
It is a pity because I like very much DX Studio architecture
JavaScript is a great scripting language , in my opinion, well suited for game developing
