Irrlicht in Architectual Visualization

[durbdk]

[i posted this at CS Community, but I have the same question here, and am leaning towards committing to Irrlicht.]
Intro:

Hi Everyone. nice to be on the forum! I am new to CS and am very enamoured by it, but I have one question before I can justify spending the time on learning how to use it. I work within the airport market supplying baggage moving solutions (more fun than it sounds), the problem is that my company is being left behind relying on older methods to get clients and sales. I have a background in 3D and animation and am very interested in using CS as an important part of a new marketing strategy I am championing here. The question I have follows:

Question:

I want to make a 3D, FPS type walkthrough so our customers can move through their airport and inspect/intract with their "future" equipment. I know that this is possible with CS, my only real concern is deliverability; is it possible to create the viz and package it into an executable file that can be run directly from disk without the need for installation? I can do this in Blender GE but am unable to use that because of polygon limits and stability. any input/links/suggestions would be helpful. Thanks a lot!

It's important that I learn this, as I don't want to commit the time to learning c++ (yup, starting from the very bottom). The most I've done so far is the good ol' "Hello World" lol. Thanks and have a good one...

Sorry if this has been asked before, I did a search but found nothing, need to get familiar with these forums.

You shoud read the supported formats of irrlicht:

Then you can try to modify the tutorial 7 (FPS type walkthrough) using your scene filename:
