The majority of the code is written in C++, and it's based on a system of scripts and relies on nodes to manage everything, from rendering to artificial intelligence throughout the missions. When Ubisoft launched its project for The Division, of course it was only natural for Ubisoft's Massive Entertainment to develop its own game engine, Snowdrop.

For example, The Assassin's Creed series uses the Anvil engine, whereas Watch Dogs uses Disrupt both were developed by Ubisoft Montréal.

Notably the developers focused on improved rendering of particles and vegetation, advanced handling of lighting and reflections, as well as a physics engine for games. With version 5 presented in this video, the CryEngine shows once again that it is tailored to offer ultra-impressive graphics. The developers at Crytek have thought big from the beginning, by offering an engine capable of supporting Model Shaders, HDR rendering, and even Dolby 5.1. At the time, few machines were able to take advantage of all of the graphics options available in the game. It was with version two, and the release of Crysis, that the CryEngine really showed what it was made of (and entered the gamer vernacular). It rapidly transformed into a game engine and realized the first Far Cry title. Originally developed by Crytek as part of a simple technical demo for Nvidia, CryEngine was impressive from the start.

Focus was also placed on character rendering, from their animations to facial expressions. Effectively, Frostbite is capable of modifying the physical properties of a game in its entirety, from the movement of trees in the wind to particles projected by an explosion. With the arrival of Frostbite 3 for Battlefield 4, DICE further pushed the limits of its engine, notably by insisting on the realism of environments rendered by the engine. The Frostbite Engine is known for its destructible environments, which have helped to make the Battlefield series famous.

Although this is far from what would commonly be rendered with an engine used for the heart of a video game (there are few particle effects, explosions, smoke, etc.), the handling of textures and lighting is spectacular, altogether conveying extremely advanced photorealism. It was effectively possible to select decorative elements to modify their color or texture. This demo utilized Unreal Engine 4 to present a loft situated in London, repeatably explorable from every angle, and with the ability to modify the scene in real time. At the heart of numerous games ( Deus Ex, Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, Bioshock, Borderlands, Mirror’s Edge, and so on), the Unreal Engine still remains today among the best graphics engines around, even if Unity is seriously biting at its heels.

This time, the short film was running on a machine equipped with four Titan X GPUs and displayed some 63 million polygons per frame, all at a 8192x8192 resolution. Dubbed Witch Chapter 0, it revisited Agni (the character) and brilliantly demonstrates the evolution of the Luminous Engine.
Two years later, Square Enix revealed a new tech demo using this engine. The demo displayed nearly 10 million polygons per frame (up to 400,000 per character).

Agni's Philosophy ran on a PC equipped with a GeForce GTX 680 and 16 GB of RAM. The principal goal for this demonstration was to show what the future of the Final Fantasy franchise would look like.
The animated short film introduced Agni, a young female sorcerer. The graphics engine was designed to run on eighth-gen consoles (PlayStation 4 and Xbox One). At E3 2013, Square Enix revealed this tech demo of its Luminous Engine.
