The Creation is a 3D game development engine developed by Bethesda game studio with Gamebryo game engine as a base for this engine. The game engine is integrated with a set of tools and plugins including run-time libraries which allows the production of cross-platform game titles.
Creation engine is modular for numerous C++ libraries. The engine has been primarily used to create role-playing genre games, which includes the famous The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Creation engine is the advance form of Gamebryo with the enhanced graphical core by adding physically based deferred renderer for more dynamic lightning and material objects painting. Bethesda worked together with Nvidia to introduce volumetric lightning via method called hardware tessellation.
Moreover, this engine allows more advanced character building. The updated version of the engine is capable of 16x increase in detailing and the ability to view the unique weather system. All new rendering, lighting, and landscape technology along with some network changes, has also been the part of latest update improvements to the engine.
Game Engine Features

This significant expansion empowered Bethesda to improve character movements in their games.
A redesigned version of Radiant AI permits non-player characters (NPCs) to respond and associate with their general surroundings powerfully. The player can watch an NPC have breakfast, go to work, go to the bar, and afterwards rest. The improved AI permits NPCs to respond to the player’s activities, and they can turn out to be cordial or unfriendly to the player in light of their actions.
