Hey guys,
I'am currently looking at 3rd party rendering engines to integrate into my own code base. I am looking for something lightweight with a reasonable simple API which handles rendering (using OpenGL) and maybe scene management but not a lot more.
So far I found the Horde3D rendering engine (horde3d.org/) which is more or less exactly what I was looking for (only rendering, scene graph and some internal resource management. Completely data driven rendering). The sad part is that it isn't developed anymore because the two guys working on it during their university time are now working full time at companies. There is some community driven development but I am afraid that at some point development stops.
Of course I know about Ogre but Ogre is such a huge beast and (at least for me) the tutorials are not very clear on how to integrate a minimal Ogre into an existing code base where I can control the resource mangement etc.
Is there something else out there? Preferably like Horde3D but with a more active community?
Thanks!
