Latest Screenshots

	Per-Pixel Lighting A screenshot showing per pixel lighting applied to the 3D model, using normal mapping.
	Terrain Generation + Shadow Volumes Demo with a terrain with a on-the-fly shadow volume.
	Terrain Generation + Shadow Volumes + Sky Hemisphere Demo like the previous screenshot, but using a planar projection technique for the sky hemisphere, so that clouds appear to disappear realistically.
	Geometry Utilities Demonstrating the ability to take any type of Geometry and divide it perfectly along a plane. Polygons crossing the plane are divided in half.
	Bezier Patch Demo displaying a Bezier patch.
	Quake 2 Model Loader Screenshot of the Demo/Util loading a Quake 2 model and applying environment mapping to it. Also show's the use of the Widget Extension.
	JStreetScene A 3D Scene using release 0.1 of RAGE. Uses dynamic lighting and 3D audio. Shown in the day, a combination of ambient and directional lights provide the light.
	JStreetScene At night using spotlights with a dim ambient light.
	Cube Mapping Screenshot demonstrating the ability for real-time dynamic diffuse and specular reflections. Shows a MD2 model with only the cube map texture.
	Cell Shading Screenshot demonstrating the highly customizable nature of the render system. Shows a popular cartoon shading that is used in some styles of games.
