Irrlicht Engine For Linux

Irrlicht Engine is an open source, cross-platform, high performance and real-time 3D game engine written in C++ and ported to the .NET/Mono languages.

Irrlicht Engine features its very own software renderer, but it also uses the OpenGL and D3D technologies. The software includes state-of-the-art functionality, which can be found in commercial 3D gaming engines.

Among some of its top-notch features, we can mention a huge built-in and extensible material library that includes pixel and vertex shader support, seamless outdoor and indoor mixing, a character animation system, particle effects, light maps, billboards, stencil buffer shadows, environment mapping, and others.

Irrlicht Engine is a platform-independent application that has been successfully tested under the Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.
