Irrlicht Engine - A free open source 3D engine

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.

06-Oct-17Forum working again

Thanks to our sysop the forum can be used again. It looks like the connectivity troubles had caused too many stale open sessions in the forum database.

04-Oct-17Website & forum troubles

Last week SourceForge, which we use for hosting, was having connectivity issues. This caused the Irrlicht homepage and forum to work badly. Over the last days most things started working again – except the forum continues to be broken. Old posts can be read but everything else is currently not working. We try to figure out what is going on. In the meantime if you have urgent questions you can discuss them on IRC (server: irc.freenode.net channel: #irrlicht).
