This is probably the most awesome un-known app out there. What it does is simple enough, Get a 3d snapshot of a Direct X application’s scene. Including textures, shaders, and models. That helps a ton when you are looking for textures or when you would just like to learn from the pros, As I do. Its suprising sometimes to see how unoptimized some game scenes are. But to show you a example of the work this thing can do. Here is the texture of the maw’s handler in the game The Maw:

I’ve actually believe it or not have been waiting for this for a while now. At least six months. Not this exact update, but the windows version of unity. This engine is a great looking one, And by far the best for a web player!
Here is a comparison of shockwave’s 3d VS unity’s 3d:

As you can see, Unity has a almost limitless range of effects as shockwave has a few built in but other then that few to speak of.
