We are happy to announce that we have released certain system-level portions of Afterwarp framework as open-source! This includes several container templates such as array, flat map and flat set, classes working with strings and stream and file I/O classes, and numerous utility functions, among others.
This new library serves as a standard C++ library replacement, focusing on high reliability, efficiency and compactness. It is still a small part of Afterwarp framework, considering the later having a relatively large code base, however it is going to be developed and maintained separately as a standalone project.
We are excited to unveil our latest release of Afterwarp Framework ® version 3, a testament of our commitment to excellence and innovation. This update represents a significant milestone, reflecting a substantial development effort and is packed with groundbreaking new features:
And that's not all – we are also thrilled to introduce support for C# and .NET, opening up new possibilities for developers and creators alike. In our ongoing commitment to support the community, we've also revamped our licensing scheme, specifically tailored to better aid small companies and independent developers.
Join us in celebrating this momentous achievement, as we continue to push the boundaries of what's possible!

We are proud to formally announce the release of our newest Afterwarp Framework ® version 2. The framework introduces a new hybrid forward/deferred rendering pipeline using clustered shading, supporting many thousands of light sources in the same scene at real-time, some of which can also be optionally shadow casters.
A new material system with a variety of lighting models, along with a high-dynamic range (HDR) processing enable beautiful and highly realistic physically-based rendering (PBR). Screen-space effects such as ambient occlusion (SSAO), spatial and ground fog, different type of blur techniques and real-time color dithering enable creating amazing 3D scenes and visualizations.
Furthermore, this release also features an improved and highly optimized object modeling hierarchy that provides advanced frustum culling and object picking, supporting hundreds of thousands of objects in real-time. A native support for Wavefront OBJ file format is also included, supporting very large models of several gigabytes and more, highly optimized to provide best performance critical in CAD applications.
The new package includes C/C++ framework headers, samples, sample executables, media files, tools and documentation. Official language bindings with high-level wrappers, examples and documentation for Delphi and FreePascal/Lazarus are also available.

It is a pleasure to announce that our team has been present on SpaceTechExpo EU 2019 that was held in Bremen, Germany, where major companies from industrial sector have been participating, showing technologies related to space industry and exploration.
In our comfy booth 4023 located in hall 4, we have been showing a technology preview of our incoming Afterwarp Framework v2: an industrial framework designed with high performance, reliability and fault tolerance in mind, featuring a completely new rendering pipeline and advanced rendering techniques.
We had an amazing time participating in SpaceTechExpo and had an opportunity to interact with many interesting people and companies. We also had a great time meeting with our potential customers and collaborators. A special thanks goes to everyone who came to visit us personally in our booth. We hope you have enjoyed our presentation and looking forward to seeing you again in future events!
