Project Goals

The goal of this project is to continue to explore Ogre further through tutorials, and start working with third party libraries that generate interesting scenes and effects.

Part 1: Go through some Intermediate Ogre Tutorials

Go through the following Intermediate Ogre tutorials. As you work your way through the tutorials, for each tutorial take at least 2 screenshots and document your results

• Projective decal (intermediate tutorial number 6)
• Render to texture (RTT) (Intermediate Tutorial 7)

Part 2: Go through Special Ogre Libraries

Several third parties have implemented some useful libraries. Install the following libraries and create interesting scenes. For each library summarize your experience about installing and using it. For each library, include at least 3 screenshots which you shall submit as your project 2 write-up, in order to document your results. Don't forget to say what you liked about using the library as well as what you didn't like.

• Hydrax: - A library to render pretty water scenes
• Caelum A library that helps to create nice-looking (photorealistic if possible) atmospheric effects such as sky colour, clouds and weather phenomena such as rain or snow
• Ogre Procedural Geometry Library: A library that creates geometric primitives, such as cubes, spheres, cylinders
