Author Topic: Possible to use Ogre3D with SFML? (Read 3465 times)

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to find if it is possible/a way to use Ogre3D for rendering, but SFML for everything else(like input and such). I found this article for using Ogre3D with SDL, http://www.ogre3d.org/wiki/index.php/Using_SDL_Input but I haven't been able to find a way to do this with SFML. Any help or pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

IMHO you wouldn't really gain anything from doing that. OIS is a better system for input and I think you would be better of loading 2d elements as overlays and billboards in ogre3d.

You need to get the SFML window handle to use it with ogre.

I've write a function for that, but it need to recompile the library.

Laurent told me that he was maybe going to add it.

I thought so, but I was having trouble finding a way to get that through SFML's documentation. Is it possible to get that without digging into SFML's source?

Thanks!
