x3ogre

x3ogre is an adapter of the declarative X3D concept to the Ogre rendering engine. It maps the core X3D Nodes to Ogre primitives and also allows using Ogre resources inside X3D.

The goal is to load X3D scenes while using the efficient Ogre Meshes and more advanced rendering features available through Ogre.

Unlike other exiting X3D renderers, it offers true cross-platform compatibility being deployable to the Web, Desktop and Mobile.
