A fully-functional trial version of the Power Render 3D engine is now available for download. The PR on PR is that this is "a general purpose 3D engine but also has a high level engine/editor capable of mixing terrain and BSP levels seamlessly. The trial version comes complete with tools, editor, 3DS MAX 3/4, Character Studio, and LW 6.5 support, lots of examples and sample content. Also, there's a new Quake III Arena jump-pad tutorial on shooterzone showing how to create your own high-tech Q3A trampolines. Finally, there's a Shine 3D engine interview on Stomped talking with the folks behind the engine used in Hired Team: Trial.
