yep not too bad of an engine, I messed around with it a year or more ago. It has proven tech, Disney created that Pirate game with it. It is however not a WYSIWYG engine. At least not when I used it. Uses Python which is kewl also.
I will be moving this into multipurpose engines.

What in Panda 3D costs money? I thought it was open source and free? That would be really lame if they changed it to commercial or created a league of pay-add-ons after a few higher-profile projects started using it

the first post was about panda though. It was a little hard getting a terrain in and moving around. Though this was a while ago. You will find it is a lot more work without the wysiwyg editor.
