When Gabriel is able to release his BMAX interface for TV3D, Aurora, or whatever, will be next to useless. TV3D has Newton, Networking and a very fast, feature rich rendering methodology. For all the folks out their who keep throwing good money after bad trying to find that "Magic Bullet" for 3D, Physics, networking etc ... Just buy TV3D when Gabriels wrapper is released and maybe throw some money his way in appreciation for all he went through to move it along.
Calling Aurora next to useless just shows a lack of understanding of what the engine is capable of.
The material system is probably the best in the biz. It has postfx. It has networking thanks to BlitzNet optica.
It's a cracking engine, and certainly better than the last version of TV I tried. I found tv to be archaic. And you really can't even begin to compare the art pipelines.
In evak's words, Ofusion is the best he's ever tried.
