3d engine for iPhone

Question

Hi, all !

Which engine is best ?

I've finded some engines : Ogre, Irrlicht and direct rendering from opengles (convert .obj files into buffer and rendering it).

I've compiled Ogre - CeGUI works very ugly on iPhone... And Ogre has many-many files :)

I need just rotate, zoom and object picking for static objects. Which method/engine is better ?

And, for example, when i use Ogre - can I use antialiasing ? When I have rendering directly by glDrawArrays, i can use software AA (for example, jitter method). Can this some of engines ?

Thanks

Answer 1

If you just want to render some static objects with rotation and zoom, you can write it from scratch in OpenGL ES in much less time than what is needed to learn to use a big 3D engine like Ogre or Irrlicht.

Answer 2

I've used Irrlicht for years and I love it. Very easy to learn, very fast and a breeze to compile and use.
