Ogre Procedural is an Ogre3D based library enabling developpers to quickly create geometric primitives, such as cubes, spheres, cylinders...

Source code and downloads you find on the project page.
If you have questions, just use this forum topic.

Features

It can build the following primitives :

• Box, RoundedBox
• Plane
• Sphere, IcoSphere
• Cylinder, Tube, Capsule
• Cone
• Torus, Torus knot

Planned:

• extrusion and revolution based meshes
• a plug-in for the scene editor Ogitor

Download

Downloads are available in the download section of the project page.

Precompiled binaries are provided for VS2010 and for CB+MingW (linux support may come later, but I don't have a Mac...)
Source package is also available for all platforms (CMake based project files)

Usage Examples

Create a sphere:

//Initialisation
Procedural::Root::getInstance()->sceneManager = mSceneMgr;
//Create a sphere
Procedural::SphereGenerator().setRadius(5.f).setUTile(.5f).generate("mySphere");
mSceneMgr->createEntity("mySphere");

Create a pipeline:

Procedural::Path p = Procedural::BezierPath().addPoint(0,5,0).addPoint(0,4,10).addPoint(10,5,10).close().realizePath();
Procedural::Shape s = Procedural::CircleShape().setRadius(1.5).realizeShape();
Procedural::Extruder().setExtrusionPath(&p).setShapeToExtrude(&s).realizeMesh("extrudedMesh");

How to build

This is a list of basic steps to compile ogre-procedural from source.
Prerequisites:

• Install Cmake
• Install Ogre, either from source or precompiled SDK (1.7 or 1.8)
• If you are using MS Windows, make sure that there's an evironnement variable OGRE_HOME set to your ogre SDK directory

Compiling and running the sample:

• Generate project files using Cmake
• Compile, run, and enjoy 😊 ...
