Index

Ogre3D

At this point I will assume you have some programming experience of the Ogre open source 3D graphics engine. A crash course in Ogre3D programming is a little beyond the scope of this book but there are plenty of great books and tutorials to be had.

Before we get started compiling a simple scene and viewer, we will need to install the OgreGrome SDK which at time of writing can be downloaded from:

Alternatively, visit Quad Software's website and navigate to "GROME – Support for Engines and External Formats". There you will find links to any updated SDKs and plugins.

Another requirement is the OgreCOLLADA application (or some other tool) that converts COLLADA models used by GROME into the .mesh format required by Ogre3D.

OgreGraphite engine

Richard A. Hawley

Richard Hawley started programming in the early 1980s at the start of the home computer craze with the Sinclair ZX-81. Before leaving high school he had worked on three game projects for Assassin Software and later worked on conversions of classic strategy board games for 8- to 16-bit machines. He went on to develop end-user tools for popular flight simulations including Empire Interactives Enemy Engaged helicopter series and the highly successful Origin Janes Longbow series (MissioneerPlus). Hes the director of Tricubic Studios, a small UK company dedicated to creating simulation and training environments using off-the-shelf 3D engines including Unity and Leadwerks. Together with technical artist David Hopkinson (Total War: English Civil War conversion) and physics guru Fred Naar (creator of Helicopter Total Realism for Microsoft Flight Simulator X) they are collectively known for their work on helicopter simulations.
