The second revision was released in April, 2005, following the success of the first revision. What came next was a flurry of activity, as new tools were introduced to be used in conjunction with Dxtre3d. These included TBUILDER by Iceberg for the creation of textures, and Pixstr2 by Raider Croft, used to customize objects. In August 2005, Turbo Pascal released a demo version of dxtre3d 3.0 Alpha. This spin off version was a 3D level editor designed for general game development with slightly different features.
