A lot of these shots could simply be the settings he uses in his code, rather then his engine. I haven't actually looked around for source examples, but that would be my guess, that the settings used in the shots don't represent the flexibility of the engine.
It's one person working on Max3d, who doesn't seem very motivated or 1/10 as upbeat or responsive. I have no doubts Max3D will be a nice engine to 'play' with (by the simplicity of it, ofcourse), but in realism, I don't think marks incompetence towards dedication (He seems, as it has been said before, to be losing his motivation); the kind that Leadwerks is showing, in order to provide such a product to meet current technology.
Leadwerks (and other engines) have already been released and are very well capable. A new engine, being developed by one 'seemingly' unmotivated individual, that looks hardly close to a featureful release any time soon, is not going to catch up or come close to the capability of an engine like this, or others of similar quality.
I would choose this engine over TV3D (which I already have a license to), or max3d, because by evidence it would seem that updates will exist more then once a year, and in bigger quantities & value. And you can't beat the price.
As for the "Max3D is geared towards lower end specs, and cross-platform" argument: minib3d, and several others already floating around.
No real point in comparing the 2 anyways, as one isn't even released yet.
I didn't get what you mean. Is Max3D really having similiar features this engine has?
