The Irrlicht Engine seams like a better idea then. https://irrlicht.sourceforge.io/ it is supported and has a small community. Source: almost 2 years ago
I'd recommend Irrlicht Engine. It was very popular during mid-to-late 2000's , and it to my knowledge it still supports OpenGL 1.x as well as its' own software renderer. I once had a PC similar to your specs in 2008, and Irrlicht ran decently alongside ODE physics engine. Source: over 2 years ago
If we're going to list graphics libraries then bgfx and irrlicht are probably worth a mention as well. Source: over 2 years ago
The make or break moment for me was working on an indie game dev team when I was a teenager. I joined a team and was immediately mentored in a way that made programming and code make sense. We developed using open source engines like Irrlichtand Ogre3D, where my mentor was able to detail what came with the different available libraries, and how to utilize them to create a game. He would assign us to create... Source: over 2 years ago
Although primarily intended for games, Irrlicht is a relatively simple library (compared to a full game engine). https://irrlicht.sourceforge.io/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
There is also Unigine [1] but that has less community around it than Unreal. I am mentioning it because I think it should be known more. It was started by a single russian dev who was initially just writing online tutorials on various OpenGL and physics stuff (frustum.org). Then he decided to make a commercial engine and started a company. Of course their engine evolved a lot since and they have a team of devs now... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
Give it a good once-over when it arrives for any shipping damage, check to make sure that memory overclocking in enabled in the BIOS since that's sometimes not done by the builder and then benchmark it with something simple like Unigine to make sure it's not running weirdly below the norms (4070Ti should be around 3100-3300 in Unigine Heaven) or you can download 3DMark Demo and it should give you a...

But yeah, I was trying to push Unigine (double sized vector3 would be nice) as it seems to target more the industry type apps. Source: almost 2 years ago
Https://unigine.com/ is a powerful game engine that no one seems to pay any attention to. So, they mainly get their revenue from industrial applications. Source: about 2 years ago
So you consider an engine "professional" if your favourite big PC games run on it? What sort of logic is this? I suppose enterprise-geared engines like UEngine aren't "professional" either because they aren't popular with game developers? Source: almost 3 years ago
