Godot support for 3D is too primitive, and Unity has become a wild mess over the years. Is Unreal Engine the only remaining option for 3D projects?
You might give rbfx a look. It is an actively developed fork of Urho3D that has pretty decent, and actively developed, 3D rendering. Source: almost 3 years ago
Best library for 3D development that doesn't require GLFW/GLAD etc
You might give rbfx a try. It's a fork of Urho3D which is also good, though aging. While they do verge into engine territory, they're not editor-based as Unity and Godot are, and in fact the editors for each are quite rudimentary and unfinished. For a programming-centric workflow, they're pretty nice. Source: almost 3 years ago
C++ 3D Graphics Frameworks / Game Frameworks ?
Urho3D is a C++ engine that provides rendering (D3D, OpenGL, WebGL) as well as numerous other capabilities. Works on many platforms. Has and editor, but it is not central to the process and isn't really complete anyway. Source: about 3 years ago
C++ 2D/3D Engine
Urho3D or its recent fork rbfx are good choices. Numerous supported platforms, 2D and 3D, scripting with AngelScript or Lua if desired, etc. Source: about 3 years ago
Workflows, Artisans, Manufactories and Inflation
It's coded in C++, Urho3D is used to display graphics and sounds. Source: about 3 years ago

Open source recreation of the PS Vita game -- Calling all creators
I would like to recreate the Plastic Memories PS Vita game as a free, open source, cross-platform (any platform SFML runs on*) game for everyone to enjoy. I'm not sure how much time I'll be able to put into it (I don't have much time between school and various other projects of mine) but I can handle the code, coordination, and source code hosting.
