Armory is an open-source 3D game engine written in C, Haxe, and WebAssembly, structured as a data-driven engine, focused on cross-platform portability, minimal footprint, and performance. Armory is integrated directly into Blender as an add-on, turning it into a complete game development tool, which promotes an outstanding workflow from start to finish. Its render path is fully scriptable with deferred and forward paths supported out of the box. Game logic can be implemented using Logic Nodes (visual scripting), Haxe scripting, or Rust/C/C++ compiled to WebAssembly.
Armory uses a subset of Cycles/EEVEE nodes for materials; however, the render engine at its core is Iron. Armory3D supports PBR, SSS,[3] HDR,[3] and VXGI.[4]
Armory utilizes portable open-source technologies such as Kha—a multimedia framework—and Haxe—a cross-platform toolkit.
Architecture
[5] The rationale behind this is that utility suites[6] and software plugins[7] are made redundant by using this pipeline. This innovation means that developers can cut down on the time normally spent saving a game file in one program, only to immediately reopen the same file in a different program to complete the next stage of development.[8] This also means fewer delays waiting for engine-specific plugins to be released for new versions of digital asset creation programs,[9] and no roadblocks due to licenses becoming unavailable for the last version compatible with the most recent functioning plugin after more than 3 years from release.[10]
