Ogre3D Object Placement Utility

I wrote an open source object placement utility that allows for placing objects (trees) on a terrain using the mouse.

It consists of a terrain and a water surface (pond). The user can select from 3 different models of trees and place them on the terrain. You enter edit mode by pressing space and a toolbar with all available models appears on the left side of the screen. The toolbar can easily be extended with more models.

I hope people will find it useful for object placement in scenes or using it as a base for terrain editors and such.

The build system is currently for Linux only (cmake and make) but it should be easy to compile in Windows or MacOS. The code is not perfect so any comments and suggestions are welcome.


Here is a demo:

Ogre3D Applications and Emacs

This is the first application of the Ogre3D tutorial, set up for compiling by calling

make -k

from Emacs. This is useful when you have a shortcut for M-x compile say, F1, so you want to be able to call make from the directory where all your source files are located. The Makefile in the root directory just removes old cmake files, then runs cmake inside build directory and creates the Makefile to build the project. Then builds and executes.

• Cmake output is redirected to the file /build/cmake.output
• The executable (OgreApp) is located in build/dist/build
• The execution log is in build/dist/bin/OgreApp.log

Now you can edit the source files of your Ogre3D application, then hit F1 (or whatever key you've assigned compile to) and build/execute by just pressing one key.

You can download all files from here.
