You too can be the Omega Man with the OmegaEngine SDK (C#, DirectX 9, 3D engine suited for strategy games, space simulations)

Visual Studio Gallery - OmegaEngine SDK

The OmegaEngine SDK installs project templates that allow you to get started with 3D programming as quickly as possible.

SUPPORTS Visual Studio 2010

The OmegaEngine is a general-purpose 3D graphics engine written in C# using the .NET Framework 2.0 and DirectX 9 via SlimDX.

The engine is designed to be

• light-weight (compiled binaries with external libraries < 4MB),
• modular (use only the parts you need for your project) and
• gameplay-agnostic (also suitable for visualization projects, etc.).

The engine is well-suited for strategy games, space simulations, etc.. It is not designed for use in FPSes, open-world sandboxes, etc..

The OmegaEngine SDK installs project templates that allow you to get started with 3D programming as quickly as possible. Please make sure you have installed the NuGet Package Manager first.
