I've retrofitted NW3D with a wireframe mode, which can be useful for engine debugging.

The NW3D engine now incorporates collision detection. This articles explains the algorithm used and includes a demo using a basic scene created with objects from the 'objectfactory' construction class.

I explain how path objects and the 'latheobject' method of the 'objectfactory' class can be used to quickly and easily create solid geometries.

Implements two animated, coloured lights within the scene. Also uses the 'objectfactory' class to generate a planet and two moons.

A simple analogue percentage gauge control that could be used as a performance indicator, perhaps using traffic lights colour-coding.
