History: MOGRE

__MOGRE (Managed OGRE)__ is an advanced .NET ((-wrapper|wrapper)) for OGRE. It can be used by __C#__, __Visual Basic__ etc.

The "glue" code between C++ and .NET is developed using C++/CLI, which offers great flexibility and low-level control of how the wrapping should work. MOGRE goes beyond a plain wrapper: The OGRE classes are integrated into the .NET framework seamlessly (see ((OGRE-MOGRE interconnection))). 

The pure graphic rendering speed is similar to Ogre C++ applications, because the calculations are done by the same Ogre core library (written in C++) and the wrapped interactions are quite fast.
