• Visual Editor. An integrated development environment with a graphical interface for designing three-dimensional scenes. It allows dragging and dropping objects, configuring materials, lighting, and cameras without manual programming.
• WebGL Export. Converts projects to a format compatible with modern web browsers. Automatically generates HTML and JavaScript code for integration into websites.
• Native Export. Compiles to executables for Windows, macOS systems, and applications for Android and iOS mobile platforms. Uses native APIs for optimized performance.
• JavaScript Scripting. A coding system for implementing custom functionalities. Allows direct access to the game engine through a documented API.
• Skeletal Animations. Support for animating characters and objects using bones and vertices. Includes tools for importing and editing animations from external software.
• Integrated Physics. A physics simulation engine for collisions, gravity, and realistic movement. Configurable via parameters for mass, friction, and restitution.
• Particle System. Tools for creating visual effects such as smoke, fire, explosions, and atmospheric phenomena. An editor for properties like speed, size, and duration.
• Custom Shaders. Implementation of advanced materials using shading language. Supports shaders written in GLSL and HLSL for custom visual effects.
• Model Import. Compatibility with 3DS, OBJ, B3D, MS3D, LMTS, and COLLADA formats. Automatic conversion of textures and materials during import.
• User Interface. A system for creating 2D elements over 3D scenes, such as buttons, panels, and text. Support for custom fonts and input events.
• Spatial Sound. Positional audio with distance attenuation and Doppler effects. Supported formats include WAV, OGG, and MP3 with simultaneous channel management.
• Navigation and Pathfinding. Automatic generation of navigation meshes for AI characters. Calculates routes while avoiding obstacles in complex environments.
• Lighting System. Multiple light types including directional, point, and spotlights. Support for shadow maps and global illumination effects.
• Terrains and Vegetation. Tools for creating landscapes using heightmaps and a layer system. Automatic generation of grass and foliage with procedural variation.
• Multilingual. Localization system for texts and resources adaptable to different languages. Management of translation packages via external files.

CopperCube was developed by Ambiera GmbH. The first public version was released in 2006. The engine is primarily written in C++ with additional JavaScript components for scripting.
