Trainz graphic engine in World of Tanks game?

[kin3]

I play "World of Tanks" fps and the scenery looks a lot like it might be made with Trainz somehow. The swaying tree and grass looks just like Trainz. Just wondering.

I've played WOT and I see what you mean but no, they are two completely different engines.

As far as I know, WOT was made using the Big World MMO technology. Trainz has its own engine.

Big World uses specific files that are brought together in a database and shown on the game map. Trainz uses a slightly different method by having each object have its own script and placed inside a .cdp file. That is then brought together and allowed to interact with other assets in the game world.

Nice comparison though.

N3V Auran Trainz uses the Auran Jet Engine and the application would so note this on the packaging with a trademark and icon.

Both use Speedtrees and Speedgrass as do many games. That is why they look alike.

Check out this link for a list (incomplete) of games that use Speedtrees.

Be sure to scroll down to the "non-game" uses of Speedtrees
