Sounds a lot like branan's AgeCreator project - which however, as far as I know, is dead for years.
I prefer e-mails to "diafero arcor de" (after adding the at and the dot) over PMs.

Mine if ever done(Don't hold your breath) would focus more on Geometry. Geometry should be the biggest hurdle in age creation for people who are not good with model editors(Such as myself). At least its why i have never made any.

This video shows how easy you can make terrain editing (Skip to 1:20). Proberly would also need a CSG editor ability similar to Valves Hammer as well.

Implemented blending. Mostly working (Materials with a Cubemap look horrible). Objects are rendered in a Single Pass with a maximum of 4 Layers(From what i have read 4 is the maximum the fixed pipeline can do). Depth Buffer stuff(ZFlags) however doesn't work(And is disabled), not sure if its linked to the fact im using GL_SAMPLE_ALPHA_TO_COVERAGE_ARB. Note that i have not implemented any Frustrum or any other way of rendering less objects, so everything is rendered(Also there is going to be more API calls than are needed as it never stores the state of things to save calls), hence why the FPS is low (As well as my current pc being old).
