Ogre Introduction and Installation Configuration

Ogre Introduction and installation configuration about Ogre

Ogre, Ogre, and former ally of the Orc tribe are now spread over Azeroth and Draenor. Of course, the ogre is not these pear-shaped fat men, but the "object-oriented graphics Rendering Engine", object-oriented graphics rendering engines.

For a variety of reasons, I need to use C + + to do rendering, I found a lot of different game engine data eventually selected ogre. Ogre is not a complete game engine, he can only achieve the function of graphics rendering, but it can add a lot of plugins, let us develop a complete game. If you do not want to learn more about the game program development, it is recommended to see Unity3d (http://unity3d.com/cn/), so as not to put too much energy on the implementation of the game function. Ogre has many masterpieces, such as Shadow: The Pagan Kingdom (http://www.shadows-game.com/en/start.php).

And it is open source, we can manually modify the bug (yes, it has bugs), or add some new features.

I found a lot of information in the process of learning OGRE, classic books such as "OGRE 3D Game Development Framework Guide", as well as the big blog, such as the Ruffian Dragon, but not a complete tutorial, so intend to write a more comprehensive OGRE use instructions, said each function is how to achieve.

Note: The source code behind is the author's own test.

Installation configuration

There are a lot of tutorials on the web, there is not much to say, only a few suggestions and configuration process may encounter problems and solutions.

1. It is recommended to compile from the source code, the direct installation of the SDK is convenient, but it is not conducive to modify the bug. (some bugs will be mentioned later)

2. There are times when this error occurs:

Workaround: Project Properties-> Configuration Manager.

New New Platform x64

3. Newer vs cancels the VC + + Directory modification option, it is recommended to create a new ogre project and then set as a template.

4. Whether installing the SDK or the source code, it is best to select the stable version.

5. If you choose to install from the source code, the Dependencies freetype lib file may be hidden deep, causing CMake to be found.

Workaround: Search on the disk and place it in the appropriate folder (Dependencies\lib\release or Debug).
