Ogre3D is an Open Source 3D Graphics Engine that offers a comprehensive set of products and services to suit different needs. There are two sister projects within Ogre, each with its own unique features and compatibility. For those who prefer the default rendering pipeline and the Toolbox approach, Ogre is the way to go.

It allows you to assemble your own high-performance physically based rendering pipeline using the RTSS or custom shaders. Ogre also provides a wide range of documentation resources, including a Wiki, code snippets, and books. It offers compatibility with the Ogre 1.

7 API, supports 3rd party plugins, and targets various mobile platforms. Ogre ensures compatibility with DX9 and OpenGL 1. 5 class Hardware.

On the other hand, if you desire a modern physically based rendering pipeline out-of-the-box and like the Framework approach, Ogre Next is the ideal choice. It comes with a predefined pipeline and supports multi draw rendering. Ogre Next is aimed at experienced users who are familiar with the Ogre API or can learn from the source code as documentation is limited.

It focuses on recent mobile devices, offers VR support, and targets Windows and Linux platforms. No matter your requirements, Ogre3D provides powerful and versatile solutions for developers and enthusiasts in the world of 3D graphics
