Armory – 3D game engine

Armory is a 3D game engine focused on portability, minimal footprint and performance. The renderer is fully scriptable with deferred and forward paths supported out of the box.

Armory as a Blender add-on provides a full Blender integration, turning it into a complete game development tool and a unified workflow from start to finish.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Own UI library (Zui) and a corresponding WYSIWYG editor (Armory2D), making it easy to add user interfaces to your game.
  • Directly integrated into Blender as an add-on, so there’s no need to leave your favorite 3D software to create awesome video games.
  • Post-processing – ender path is designed to work with Blender’s material nodes. You can create beautiful materials with ease and choose from a broad range of post-process effects. Projects can configure multiple render paths so that the optimal one can be selected for the target platform and hardware.
  • Coding – decide between writing Haxe code or using visual scripting in the form of logic nodes. Logic nodes are easy to learn and provide you with a great variety of functionality. Creating your own logic nodes to encapsulate specific functionality is very straightforward.
  • Cross-platform support – runs on most devices.
