When, three years later, 3D Realms released Duke Nukem 3D, a tongue-in-cheek science fiction shooter based on Ken Silverman's technologically similar Build engine, id Software had nearly finished Quake, its next-generation game, which mirrored Dooms success for the remainder of the 1990s and significantly reduced interest in its predecessor.

Duke Nukem 3D is a first-person shooter computer game developed by 3D Realms and published by GT Interactive Software.

* EDuke: Following the release of the Doom source code in 1997, gamers wanted a similar source code release from 3D Realms.

Its programmer, Matthew Saettler, obtained permission from 3D Realms to expand the gameplay enhancements done on WWII GI to Duke Nukem 3D.

Wiederhold was later hired by 3D Realms to work on the sequel Duke Nukem Forever.

The add-on was unofficial but was included in an official compilation called Duke Nukem: Kill-A-Ton Collection through business deals with 3D Realms.

Scott Miller of 3D Realms recalled that " with Duke 3D, unlike every shooter that came before, we wanted have sort of real life locations like a cinema theatre, you know, strip club, bookstores ..."

LameDuke is an early beta version of Duke Nukem 3D, which was released by 3D Realms as a " bonus " one year after the release of the official version.

EDuke was a semi-official branch of Duke Nukem 3D that was released to the Internet as Duke Nukem 3D v2. 0 by 3D Realms in 2000 ; it focused primarily on enhancing the CON scripting language in ways which allowed those modifying the game to do much more with the system than originally possible.

While a few short-lived DOS based EDuke projects emerged, it was not until the release of EDuke32, an extended version of Duke3D incorporating variants of both Fowler's Microsoft Windows JFDuke3D code and Saettler's EDuke code, by one of 3D Realms ' forum moderators in late 2004 that EDuke's scripting extensions received community focus.

3D Realms featured it on the front page of their website and contracted with Kline to use it to promote their Xbox Live release of Duke Nukem 3D.

3D Realms repackaged the game with the parental lock feature permanently enabled, although a patch available on the 3D Realms website allows the user to disable the lock and revert the game back to its original uncensored version.

Despite such concerns from critics, legislators, and publishers, Scott Miller later recounted that 3D Realms saw very little negative feedback to the game's controversial elements from actual gamers or their parents.

Rise of the Triad: Dark War ( abbreviated as ROTT ) is a first-person shooter video game that was first released on February 17, 1995 and developed by Apogee Software ( formerly 3D Realms ).

By 1996, with 3D video games dominating the industry, the Apogee name was dropped and all games by the company were published under the 3D Realms brand, although the company's legal name remains Apogee Software, Ltd.

While the company is known as " 3D Realms ", the legal name of the company is Apogee Software, Ltd.

Patterns which can be stitched using 3D beading range from animals, hearts, flowers, and jewelry, to name a few.

Global illumination is a general name for a group of algorithms used in 3D computer graphics that are meant to add more realistic lighting to 3D scenes.

As the name implied, VQuake was a proprietary port specifically for the Vérité ; consumer 3D acceleration was in its infancy at the time, and there was no standard 3D API for the consumer market.

It is most commonly known as " 3d origami ", however, that name did not appear until Joie Staff published a series of books titled " 3D Origami ", " More 3D Origami ", and " More and More 3D Origami ".

In 3D computer graphics, it is sometimes ambiguously referred to as Phong shading, in particular if the model is used in combination with the interpolation method of the same name and in the context of pixel shaders or other places where a lighting calculation can be referred to as “ shading ”.

The Street Performer Protocol was successfully used to release the source code and brand name of the Blender 3D animation program.

Autodesk's architecture, engineering, and construction solutions include AutoCAD-based design and documentation software such as AutoCAD Architecture ( Old name – Architectural Desktop ), AutoCAD MEP ( Old name-Autodesk Building Systems ), and AutoCAD Civil 3D, as well as technology for relational building modeling such as Revit Architecture ( Old name – Revit Building ), Revit Structure, and Revit MEP ( Old name – Revit Systems ).

A newly formed company called D Data Inc. acquired the patent portfolio of Constellation 3D in 2003, and plans to reintroduce the technology under the new name of Digital Multilayer Disk ( DMD ).

QuickDraw GX and QuickDraw 3D shared the QuickDraw name and were able to interoperate with QuickDraw PixMap and picture data structures, but were otherwise completely separate in functionality.

A number of Magnetic Scrolls ' staff went on to help develop a 3D role-playing video game entitled The Legacy: Realm of Terror, which was released on the PC to lukewarm reviews, but MicroProse did not capitalise on the Magnetic Scrolls name beyond that.

The " Fundamentals " disc in the Preschool-2nd Grade packages is the JumpStart Advanced game that was released in 2002 ( though it should be noted that some JumpStart Advanced packages have a factory error, meaning that they contain JumpStart 3D Virtual World games under the Fundamentals name ).

Once the user first types in his name on the sign-in menu, a screen appears featuring all of the main JumpStart characters for second grade and under in 3D with the exception of Edison Firefly who flies under the characters and is in 2D and does not have his own learning style, but instead is a button that is pressed when the user is done answering a question.

The name " 3D Realms " was initially created as a branding label in July 1994 for use by Apogee which would be dedicated to just 3D games ( as Apogee was then known for several styles of games ).

In the early 1990s, shareware distribution was a popular method of publishing games for smaller developers, including then-fledgling companies such as Apogee Software ( now 3D Realms ), Epic Megagames ( now Epic Games ), and id Software.

Apogee Software, LLC is a video game publisher based in Garland, Texas, established in 2008 as a spin-off of 3D Realms.

In 1994, Apogee established its 3D Realms brand for publishing 3D video games distributed by the company.

In July 2008, 3D Realms announced they would revive the Apogee Games brand to develop and publish new games, as well as help distribute older Apogee titles.

The company also sells several Apogee and 3D Realms titles through the digital distribution platform GOG. com and its own online store.

* Wolfenstein 3D ( 1992 ), Apogee Software

However, shortly after this, 3D games started to dominate the industry, and Apogee decided to direct its focus on this style of game ; as such, " Apogee " was abandoned as a trade name in late 1996 .< ref >

After some disputes with John Carmack about the design for Doom and the amount of gore and violence, he left to join Apogee / 3D Realms.

He has worked as an independent contractor for several gaming companies, most notably id Software and Apogee / 3D Realms.

On October 24, 2005, 3D Realms ( formerly Apogee ) released a maintenance patch to fix a bug in the game which set the player's computer's clock backwards 100 years after playing on Windows XP.

The development of Doom started in 1992, when John D. Carmack developed a new 3D game engine, the Doom engine, while the rest of the id Software team finished the Wolfenstein 3D prequel, Spear of Destiny.

Duke Nukem 3D ( Sega Saturn ) was ported by Lobotomy Software and published by Sega.

Id Software has developed their own game engine for each of their titles when moving to the next technological milestone, including Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D, Shadowcaster, DOOM, Quake, Quake II, and Quake III, as well as technology used in making Doom 3.

Since Id Software and some of its licencees released the source code for some of their previous games, several games which were not ported ( such as Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny, Heretic, Hexen, Hexen II, and Strife ) can run on Linux and other operating systems through the use of source ports.

Eighteen months after their release of Wolfenstein 3D, in 1993 Id Software released Doom which would again set new standards for graphic quality and graphic violence in computer gaming.

Id Software is the only game development company ever honored twice by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, having been given an Emmy Award in 2007 for creation of the 3D technology that underlies modern shooter computer games.

During its early days, Id Software produced much more varied games ; these include the early 3D first person shooter experiments that led to Wolfenstein 3D and Doom — Hovertank 3D and Catacomb 3D.

Id Software was the target of controversy over two of their most popular games, Doom and the earlier Wolfenstein 3D:

The lead programmer for Id Software is John Carmack, whose skill at 3D programming is widely recognized in the software industry.

id Software, the creators of Wolfenstein 3D, oversaw the development and were credited as executive producers.
