Pro OGRE 3D Programming is the detailed guide to utilizing the OGRE (Object-Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine) 3D engine. OGRE, runs on all platforms and provides an object oriented interface to render 3D scenes, independent of the implementation such as Direct3D or OpenGL. While it’s most commonly used in game creation, it can be utilized to create a variety of 3D based applications, including architectural visualization and simulations. Examples of applications that have used OGRE can be found at www.ogre3D.org.

Leadwerks Engine is a high-performance 3D engine for rendering, sound, and physics in real-time games and simulations.

Built to Perform
We've designed our engine from the very beginning to deliver AAA performance under real game conditions. By using hierachical processing on every aspect of the engine from lights to physics, our engine performs an order of magnitude faster than similar products. Intelligent update management means that potential bottlenecks like raycasting and shadow rendering are regulated and updated cyclically, so that only one or two expensive updates are performed each frame.

Integration with 3D World Studio
Leadwerks Engine supports all the features of our award-winning editor 3D World Studio. There's no intermediary file formats or map compilers. Leadwerks Engine loads 3D World Studio files directly. Level designers can even set up an interactive scene in 3D World Studio and run it in the engine, with no source code changes

Code the Way You Want
Experienced programmers can use Leadwerks Engine with C/C++, C#, VB, BlitzMax, or virtually any programming language. Or use Leadwerks script, which requires no external language, and is easy enough for beginners to use.

You're an experienced coder with strong skills and you're ready for game-making technology that lets you to take advantage of modern hardware to make truly stunning games. You've seen dramatic visuals applied to games you love to play yourself and you've been waiting for the opportunity to replicate and innovate on those effects to make your next game one that everyone wants to play.

It's one thing to create beautiful effects, but you're a serious developer and you know how important having a solid foundation for scripting, editing, physics, networking, animation, and debugging are to getting your game finished and shipped on schedule.

Torque Game Engine Advanced lets you do it all at a fraction of the cost.
