Tutorial3 - Assembling a nice scene
Tutorial4 - Rendering your own stuff

Older Tutorials
These tutorials have been around for ages, and some of them may still work. These have caused problems before when they fall out of date with the current Ogre release. Feel free to give these tutorials a try, and post in the Ogre Help Forum if you run into difficulty. Or take some time and update them!

Intermediate Tutorials
These tutorials each cover a specific aspect of using Ogre. Note that these are kept as simple as possible. In some cases, good Object Oriented design is discarded for the sake of simplicity and clarity (though we will always try to point these design flaws out).

• Intermediate Tutorial 1 : Animation, Walking Between Points, and Basic Quaternions
• Intermediate Tutorial 2 : RaySceneQueries and Basic Mouse Usage (Part 1 of 2)
• Intermediate Tutorial 3 : Mouse Picking (3D Object Selection) and SceneQuery Masks (Part 2 of 2)

• Intermediate Tutorial 5 : Static Geometry
• Intermediate Tutorial 6 : Projective Decals
• Intermediate Tutorial 7 : Render to texture (RTT)

In Depth Tutorials
These basic tutorials go further in depth into the specifics of a topic, and may not present a complete application from start to end as many of the other tutorials do. These are where you should go when you are more interested in a single topic.

• Basic Ogre Framework : A young Ogre programmers Basic Framework
• Advanced Ogre Framework : A young Ogre programmers Advanced Framework
• Manual Resource Loading : How to load your data without using Ogre's file format.
• Resources and ResourceManagers : Outlines in detail the process by which resources are loaded, unloaded, reloaded and destroyed. Shows how to create a new resource type, and a manager to go with it
