What is Suite Chidori Engine ?

Suite Chidori EngineEditor

Suite Chidori Engine Editor
Customization Function（Plan to support the latest environment)"Suite Chidori Engine®", a Japan-made cross-platform 3D engine, is a renewal version of"Chidori®", Japan's ﬁrst domestic cross-platform 3D engine established in 2006. It supports
not only PCs but also smartphones to various game console platforms, and has all the basic
functions used in application development, allowing quick development.
All functions are available free of charge for programming education and non-commercial
personal use.

UI Production Tool
Equipped with Chidori Editor tocreate UI data. It is possible toregister textures, specify UV andplacement coordinates, and create
animation while checking it onGUI.

Suite Chidori Engine® can be leveraged for various application development, and also
makes a signiﬁcant contribution to various solutions using CG, not only for games but also
for business applications, digital signage, and AR. Suite Chidori Engine® will help you create
all-new 3D solutions by providing a platform that meets your needs.

Beyond device barriers... Simplify 3D contents development!

Showcase
Cat and Labyrinth

NEW！

Move blocks and lead the black cat to the whitecat. Players need to ﬁgure out how to moveeach block to make a road within the max
number of moves in each stage. Try to get ahigher score by reaching the goal while making
as few moves as possible in total of 5 stages.

Memory Training with a Mole!

Flap Hero

Memorize the places and orders of moles
popping up randomly and touch them in thecorrect order. This is the game sample and you
can freely customize the sample code by using
your favorite space, character, mole holeposition, original item, score/ranking screen!

Originally a free game developed by ©Arc80
Software Inc. and we have ported it to theSuite Chidori Engine. You make the fallingbird jump at the right time so as not to collidewith the earthen pipes or the ground, andlead it as far as possible. The game ends if
the bird collide with the soil pipes or ground.

Suite Chidori Engine Editor allows you toplace models and images on the UI andadjust their display position and size, soyou can create scenes without coding andwhile checking the results on the spot.

Sample Project

For each element in a scene created or loaded in the Suite Chidori EngineEditor, a project for generating a new inherited class can be automaticallycreated. The generated project contains an empty function, so you cancreate a dll and use it in your application by writing what you want toachieve and building it.

SceneSample

This is a sample project (SceneSample)
that allows you to try out each function
available in the Suite Chidori Engine®. In
this scene sample, you can experience
the various functions offered by Suite
Chidori Engine in a setting where amini-dragon appears on the street.

Main Features ⁄ Graphic（Plan to support the latest environment)

High speed and high quality
graphic expression
Suite Chidori Engine includes innovative libraries suchas 3D shading and post effect technology. These
technologies helps you to create more delicate anddynamic works.

3D Shading
A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG) adds life tostatic 3D data like shapes, movement or light shades andhue. This technology provides an effective span ofexpressions to simulate realistic, natural beauty.
Furthermore, various sceneries can be portrayedseamlessly based upon a single set of data.
・Weather Simulation (Sky, Clouds, Rain Fall, Snow,Lightning)・Seasons (Autumn Leaves, Heat haze, Lighting)・Time Progression (Sun, Moon)

Post Eﬀects
2D ﬁlter technology can be used simultaneously withrealtime 3D shaders. Filter effects will vastly intensify detailand enrich your image quality. The following Filters aresupported.
・Bloom/Glow
・Depth Of Field/Self-shadowing of moving characters
・Black and White, Sepia and Color adjustment
・Blurand more

Component utilizing existing assets
It is possible to incorporate only the 3DCG rendering partwhile utilizing the source code of existing applications.

Account Learning Game

My Music Book

This game helps you learn account items
through matching cards and accountnames on the screen. Since one gametry ﬁnish in just 30 seconds, you can learn
the account items efﬁciently.You cancheck the correct accounts for wrong
answers in the list at the end of the game.

A rhythm game in which players tap the notes
ﬂying from the back of the screen to classicalmasterpieces by using the keyboard. The
better timing you press the buttons, the higherscore you can get. Also, if you play the notes insuccession without making any mistakes, thenumber of combos increases and the ﬁnal
score becomes higher.

Expresses light emitted from a single point in space in theform of a cone. This function can be used to illuminate onlya certain area in a certain direction, such as a streetlight ora ﬂashlight.

NEW！

Collision
This function can add gravity to models anddetermine model clicks and collisionsbetween models. Box-shaped or sphericalcollision objects can be given to models,and models can be made to fall in response
to gravity, or to bounce when collisionobjects collide with each other.
It is also possible to judge clicks on collisionobjects, making the game more interactive.
