Open website in OGRE

Post by Whisperd130 »

Dear All

I would like to know if OGRE can open a website in it? Or I should use a third party maybe a GUI or some kind of framework to connect with OGRE and my website?
I have a web with HTML5, JS and maybe database.
And I want to link between it and OGRE.

if yes, what is the start and process?

Thank you.

Ogre it self can not open websites. It's a rendering engine, not a web browser.

However you can use chromium to render to a texture then load that in Ogre.


If you're looking to only support Windows/Linux/Bare minimum OSX support and are not using any html pages on the internet (outside of your own, no links anywhere, etc.) Berkelium works well and there is a bunch of code: http://www.ogre3d.org/tikiwiki/tiki-ind ... =Berkelium

If you're going to connect to anything online and/or want to build from source, or want a more modern browser CEF is about the only way to go now days. https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef
