The 3D format generated by Genesis uses the default format ACT file extension for its three-dimensional characters. The objects produced by this application can incorporate materials, skins, and motions. The actor files required by the user can be directly created from within the Genesis3D application itself or by using other supported 3D formats to the ACT file extension used by the Genesis3D Actor Studio. This application is distributed under an open-source license using real-time 3d rendering engines primarily used for the creation of 3D based computer games. The 3D engine pack distributed by Genesis incorporates the Actor Viewer and Actor Studio among other files. The real-time 3D rendering environment delivered by the Genesis3D provides a comprehensive solution for all requirement of users and developers. This technology is supported by a large online community of users and developers along with various free online forums and numerous links to different Genesis3D developers.

For potential game developers, the ACT file extension can provide a complete tool and support facility for creating real-time 3D applications almost instantly. The SDK (Software Developer's Kit) 1.1 provides additional support to the development process including different tutorials provided on the developer's Web page. As an open-source technology, the engine supported by the ACT file extension can be freely downloaded and modified along with some examples on how to implement and deploy the Genesis3D application. The modified engine must also be made publicly available to other users to continually support its open-source objectives. In cases wherein developers that modify the Genesis3D engine opt not to share their application, they are required to pay for the license issued by Eclipse to maintain its private nature. To effectively utilize the potentials of the Genesis3D engine, the computer system must have Visual C++ 6, Borland C++, Delphi, or Visual Basic compiler installed.
