Public Display of Lock Procedure et al

[Amenothep]

Hi I did a public display of a lock procedure for a Tourist site in Scotland.

Not a game so probably not that interesting for most.

It teaches tourists how a canal lock is operated using an old steamer that was famous in the Victorian era as an example.

I also did a couple of other things.

Here is the Wallace sword in a test used with the Wiimote

and reconstruction of a minor stone circle site

Those look really nice. It's always interesting to see non-game uses of OGRE.

Seconded - don't think that we're not interested in non-games here, personally I love to see serious uses of Ogre. Thanks for showing us how to use a lock!

OK, thanks.

What was actually quite labour intensive was to integrate the procedural terrain with a man made landscape (aka the canal) in a real heightmap ( so that's how the terrain actually looks, pulled from GIS). I also had to RBG fine tune the heightmap to make the pagedgeometry grass show on the XSI Canal models. I used two different watershaders, to make clear there are two different water levels.

I also made a model of the stone circle in Vega Prime and Blueberry. Given all the license issues of the two afore mentioned, Ogre and Paged Geometry (and addons) outperformed these commercial applications easily.

I have nothing aginst commercial products but if the companies started fighting, the licenses took ages to come, bugs you couldn't fix yourself and so on, Ogre was the winner.

So thanks to everybody that made Ogre possible.
