OGRE, Object-oriented Graphics Rendering Engine, an open source MIT licensed 3D renderer just released version 1.12 after almost a year in development. The release is heavily focused on internal rearchitecting for future development.
Key features from the 1.12 release:
#includedirective supported for GLSL shadersPF_DEPTHsupport for shadows with the RTSS and the Terrain component- RTSS 3.0: vastly improved internal API and refactored shader library
- Per pixel-shading on D3D11/ GL3+/ GLES2 by default (via RTSS)
- The GL3+ RenderSystem is now used for rendering the reference Test images
- More precise timings for built-in profiler and support for external profiling via Remotery
- unified API for fixed-function pipeline and shaders
- NEON intrinsics for OptimizedMath on ARM (Android)
- Stable Material library (Media/) that you can reference in your projects
- the MSVC SDK now also includes the Python and Java components
- support for loading 1.7 style terrains (aka “terrain.cfg”)
