I stumbled upon this site today while looking at somethings and thought that it might be of interest here. I'm not sure to what degree this information might relate to any game engine or if it is suited toward one engine as the links are listed on a particular engine site. Still, the topics covered are very extensive and it still might offer some help to those involved in engine programming or other aspects of game development.

Actually, that site is from the same guy who wrote "3D Game Engine Design". It's a very good book but HIGHLY (and I stress highly) advanced. His engine source code from the book should be on that website somewhere. I haven't had a chance to play with the engine though, but it might be worth checking out!

Yep. Since you brought it up the engine sounds interesting. I'm curious to look at it to see what it is like. The info on the site is impressive with what they do go into detail on (image tessalation and all that stuff), but there isn't anything much more than that like one would expect to see.
Any idea where there might be some screenshots of games based on that engine?

One interesting thing about the engine license: They require any developer (read engine user) to own a copy of the book in order to use the engine commercially. The book is 65.00 USD. If the engine is all it seems then that indeed is a reasonable license fee for commercial development without any backend royalty fees (I didn't see anything about royalties in the license agreements I read on the site).
