Xash3D is the powerful independent open-sourced 3D-engine, aimed for high compatibility with GoldSource engine formats (maps, models, textures, sounds, entities etc.), but with the intention to be an advanced platform for modmaking or game development. Technically it has been built from a scratch, using as totally original ideas, as some ideas from other 3D-engines. Xash3D overcomes obsolete GoldSource engine's limits and provides for you a new quality of gaming experience and modmaking capabilities, as extended map, model, texture & sound formats with higher limits, possibility to implement custom renderers with dynamic lighting and other modern features. Xash3D is the easy-to-use base to play existing Half-Life mods & create something new, impossible with GoldSource. Years of development & testing allowed to make from Xash3D a perfect mix of high compatibility with common GoldSource standards & high openness to creative modmaking ideas.
It's a sample of using of full-color HD textures & decals under Xash3D engine. Please note, that decals now (since build 2015) are properly drawing on transparent textures. For example, like a zombie's blood on a grate here.
Now *this* type of image is a *good* argument for using this type of an *engine*! :D
Decals
Decals are using alpha channel of surface they applied to!
This is progress! And what's about World Models?
Step by step - brick by brick - build this engine, like fortress, and let it be! :)

Nowhere yet :/
