About

OGRE is a fancy Object-Oriented Graphics rendering engine. With many fancy features. This page is an attempt to make OGRE work simply and easily for developers and users on Mac OS X.

• Ensured _setPointParameters doesn't crash
• Added accessor for mQueuedEnd in Root
• Tidied up XCode project folder

Mar 15 —
Not enough time for everything I want to do. The source code is released in a bit of a rushed state here. You'll also need the IL framework with headers here.

Feb 11 —

• Fixed fullscreen bugs

Feb 6 —

• Faster window resizing
• The source code has been tidied up
• Compiled against Dagon
• A method of using NSViews

The frameworks have been updated to include the latest Ogre compile, straight from cvs. I have also created a method of using NSViews, and a new demo program OgreNibDemo (10.9Mb) and source code (8Mb). (It's so big because it includes a lot of media) This demo show how to create and setup an Ogre program in a couple hundred lines of code. It uses Cocoa bindings and a nib for the interface.

Jan 22 — Updated beta frameworks.

• Altered OGRE event loop to work in a "OS X" way -- still looking for a better solution if anyone has one
• Window resizing works better -- completely tear-less
• CG framework added, although not included in demo project
• No threading issues
• Project updated to contain only relative paths
• Some fullscreen fixes
• Statically linked against freetype -- should work without X11

Note I have changed the way OGRE is initalised and run so check the TestApp. Also it isn't yet finalised how it will all work, so don't get attached to the OS X glue.

Jan 20 — Released an early beta, frameworks and some demos.

• Multi windows support available but flakey
• Window resizing works
• A new and simpler configure dialog box
• SDL replaced with specific Mac OS X calls
• Compiled so that frameworks need to be included in app
• CG framework not yet updated — can't use Plugin_CgProgramManager yet without the CG framework installed
• Mouse movement not yet handled properly
• Currently runs in a thread due to incompatible design of OS X event loops and OGRE
