LithTech JupiterThe third iteration of LithTech (V3) was a thorough technology overhaul. It was the backbone for No One Lives Forever 2 and TRON 2.0.
In some ways, it was considered more technologically advanced than its contemporaries, as it went beyond CPU-based shaders to support Shader Model 1.x and included a visualization tool to more efficiently support technical artists.
LithTech Jupiter EXAs of 2005 until 2014, the public iteration of the LithTech engine was Jupiter Extended (or Jupiter EX, AKA V4), which was featured in F.E.A.R. and Condemned: Criminal Origins, both developed by Monolith. In fact, it was built to support the Xbox 360 with Condemned released as a launch title for that platform. It was the first title Monolith created from the ground-up for console.
Compared to its precursor Jupiter, the Extended version was driven by a new DirectX 9 renderer and other advancements, including the addition of Havok physics software for improved real-world physics simulation, dynamic per-pixel lighting, bump mapping, normal mapping, and specular highlighting. Along with Havok's character dynamics, Jupiter EX also includes the "Havok Vehicle Kit", which adds support for common vehicle behavior.
The strength of their technical and design achievements made a strong statement for the engine, which was featured in a surge of licensed games from that era.LLithTech TalonLithTech Inc. developed a different engine specifically for Monolith's title, Aliens versus Predator 2. LithTech Talon was based on LithTech 2.2, rather than LithTech 2.4. Because of this choice, LithTech 2.4, RealArcade LithTech, and LithTech Talon became largely incompatible with each other. However, reviewers still thought of it as inferior to Unreal or id Tech.
LithTech Talon's biggest selling point lay in its capable multiplayer support, more efficient when compared to prior versions of LithTech multiplayer that featured poor networking code. Aliens versus Predator 2 features comprehensive multiplayer gameplay utilizing these improvements.
By 2003, Talon was still being licensed.LLithTech V5LithTech V5 was pushed forward by two of the studio’s powerhouse sequels, Condemned 2: Bloodshot and F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
The new titles had to be bigger and better than their predecessors, and the engine’s capabilities expanded to match. Condemned 2 was Monolith’s first game for the PS3 and console support was a big focus for this version.LLithtech TritonA custom version of Jupiter was made especially for Monolith, for use with their Tron 2.0 game; this release was codenamed LithTech Triton. Eventually, LithTech Triton's new features were merged back into LithTech Jupiter for licensees.LLiveMakerLLogan's ShadowLLogic Pro

MDKMDK supports cross platform libraries that have been specifically optimised for ease of development on mobile platforms and beyond, including iOS, Android, Apple TV, OSX, VR and AR.
The OSX version of MDK includes a vast array of built-in debugging and editing tools, as well as the ability to accurately simulate different mobile device hardware specifications and screen resolutions.
This means that by working with MDK, the user can accurately test across all devices without necessarily having the physical unit. MDK Apps built for OSX can also be run in a ’standalone viewer’ mode which allows artists to test and preview game assets exactly as they will appear in game.MMEGA Engine
