Wartbed:Architecture/Terrain Rendering
From Dark Omen Wiki
The baseline WARTBED modules will feature regimental battlefield action in earth-like settings (meaning featuring aspects regonisably Terra-normal, such as undulating terrain, gravity and wind forces).
Rendering libraries
OGRE 3D is used for the underlying multi-platform rendering engine. There are several plug-in libraries for OGRE that might be of use for WARTBED's terrain rendering.
- SkyX is a photorealistic sky and atmosphere rendering plug-in, replacing Caelum.
- Hydrax is a plugin for rendering over- and underwater effects.
- Myrddin Landscape Plugin is a complete OGRE scenegraph that handles terrain, sky and water rendering (although less gorgeously than SkyX or Hydrax).
