Cosmos Creator Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cosmos Creator?
The first full 3D modeler, texture creator, and 3D engine in the same program.

Can I create my own games?
Yes.   Games, 3D worlds, 3D objects, or whatever you can imagine, all in real time.

Is Cosmos Creator a Game Engine?
Yes, and SO much more.   Cosmos Creator takes the "Game Engine" to the next level with a total 3D modeler and texture creator all built in to a single program.

The 2MB and 10MB limits in data size won't let me create much of a game, will it?
Yes it will!   This is actually a huge amount of space for Cosmos Creator created scenes.  Cosmos Creator has the ability to create textures procedurally, and its not uncommon to have 30-50MB of textures that only take up 100k or so.  Check out some of the Sample Scenes.  The Eclipse and The Village samples are only using 1-2MB of that 10 MB limit.  Unless you are producing a commercial game, these limits should be plenty.

Can I create stand alone executables with Cosmos Creator?
Yes, with the gold and platinum registered versions you can create .EXE's as well as screen savers .SCR's.

What are the system requirements?

• Pentium 166 Mhz or higher processor (a greater than 500 Mhz is recommended)

• Microsoft Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, or Windows XP operating system

• 32 MB of RAM

• 60 MB of available hard disk space

• Microsoft DirectX 9.0 or greater compliant 3D video card

What skills do I need to use Cosmos Creator?
You'll need basic computer skills and an understanding about 3D to be the most productive.  We get comments from users all the time telling us Cosmos Creator is the easiest 3D program they have ever used.  There are extensive tutorials included that will get you started right away.

Do I need to be a programmer?
Absolutely not, but if you are you can do even more with the build in API.  You can create extensive 3D worlds and scenes, and even simple games with no programming at all.  Check out the sample car scenes, these scenes don't need a single line of programming code.

Is there an API?
Yes.  Cosmos Creator has a very extensive API.  You can do simple scripting with Lisp in the built in script editor or write full C programs and link them with your scene or game.  The Cosmos Creator API consists of hundreds of C, C++ and Lisp functions you can call.

Can I create and ship commercial game titles royalty free?
Sure!   All games and 3D scenes created with Cosmos Creator can be shipped commercially royalty free.  Gold and Silver registered Cosmos Creator's will still have the "Cosmos Creator" splash screen.  Platinum registered versions have no splash screen.
