| Nov 4, 2010 at 16:17 | comment | added | Raoul | @Ricket Yes, a graphics engine, but not a game engine which is what he most probably meant as this is strongly emphasized in the ogre docs. Also the singleton (anti)pattern certainly has nothing to do with it being an engine or not. | |
| Sep 26, 2010 at 14:43 | comment | added | Ricket | @Fire OGRE: Object-oriented Graphics Rendering Engine. It's an engine. It has singletons all over the place. Definitely an engine. | |

| Jul 31, 2010 at 7:09 | comment | added | Janis Kirsteins | @davr If you want a game engine, then you should mention what type of game you are looking to build (as for rendering, I too recommend Ogre3D. It's not hard at all to get started with it + it has a great, helpful community). | |
| Jul 15, 2010 at 19:28 | comment | added | davr | Ok, I'm looking for something a little easier to get started with than Ogre3D. Something more of a Game Engine than just a Rendering Library. Thanks for the input though. | |
| Jul 15, 2010 at 3:58 | comment | added | avee | +1 For Ogre 3D We have actually used this engine in many of our commercial projects and we are very pleased by it. | |
| Jul 14, 2010 at 19:32 | comment | added | Karantza | I've had extensive experience with Ogre3d; It's very stable and well written, and does a great job of taking care of mundane tasks (scene culling, mesh loading, billboards/particles). Fire is correct in that it's not a Game Engine; but Ogre can be (and often is) incorporated with other libraries to make one. It's a fantastic step above "drawing individual triangles and writing my own 3D object loader", but it is just a rendering library. If that's what you want, it's a great library with an active and supportive community. | |
| Jul 14, 2010 at 19:27 | comment | added | Fire | But Ogre3D isn't an engine. It is a 3d rendering library. You have to either choose an engine that's built on ogre or build your own. | |
| Jul 14, 2010 at 19:27 | comment | added | davr | Have you had any experience with it? Is it fairly stable, well written, and good for 3D beginners? I can easily google up a list of 3D engines (as you see from my question), I'm looking for more insight into which is a good choice, and why. Thanks. | |
