Welcome to the Irrlicht Engine
The Irrlicht Engine is an open source realtime 3D engine written in C++. It is cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL and its own software renderers. OpenGL-ES2 and WebGL renderers are also in development. It is a stable library which has been worked on for nearly 2 decades. We've got a huge community and Irrlicht is used by hobbyists and professional companies alike. You can find enhancements for it all over the web, like alternative terrain renderers, portal renderers, exporters, world layers, tutorials, editors, language bindings and so on.
And best of all: It's completely free.

A year ago, I made a demo of the Irrlicht Engine for checking out the speed of the Direct3D8 driver. It was posted as IotD at flipcode. The demo showed some nice particle effects, the bsp tree in action, and the first steps with the character animation system. The demo is old and ugly, but the first official demo of the Irrlicht Engine. Download it at the download section. |
