What is the The Portal Connected Zone Scene Manager (PCZSM) ?
-----------
The PCZSM is a Scene Manager for Ogre3d. The PCZSM allows rendering of scenes with varying topological hierarchies efficiently. For example, you can render mixed indoor & outdoor scenes. The scenes are divided into "Zones". Each zone has it's own organization (PCZSM currently can handle flat, octree, and octree-based terrain zones). By using portals to connect zones, the scene can be rendered and traversed efficiently. Furthermore, portals & zones can be moved and dynamically created or destroyed. This allows for very flexible scenes.

What is the purpose of this subforum?
-----------
Since the PCZSM went "official" as of Ogre 1.60 (meaning it became part of the official distribution) I thought it would be a good idea to get a dedicated subforum set up to answer questions, get input, notify people of changes, etc. Sinbad concurred, so here we are.
