Wartbed:Architecture/Terrain Rendering

From Dark Omen Wiki

This article is about planned features not yet implemented

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).
