Good GUI Library

Post by GameDude »

Hello,

I am wondering if there are any good GUI libraries that can be used with Irrlicht? I have tried irrlicht's built in GUI system, but it's not the best, and I also tried the GUI builder in 1.8, and it still isn't great. No offense, but I need something a little more verstaile.

Depends a little on what you want to do. If you want a normal application with just a little 3d then using a typical desktop gui like Qt, wxWidgets or WTL offers a lot. For game-specific gui's it's more tricky - so far I prefer Irrlicht's gui to others I've tried (but I've never hesitated to modify it to fit my needs). Some people like cegui which is said to work with Irrlicht, so you might give it a shot.
