The full source for this tutorial can be found in samples directory Samples/Tutorials/BasicTutorial1.cpp. We just have to lay a little groundwork first, so you have somewhere to stand. Don't worry, this first tutorial has a little more explanation than the rest, but that changes very quickly once you get to the later tutorials. We'll start with an explanation of some of the basic concepts in Ogre.

It keeps track of the entities and nodes in your scene and determines how to display them. Finally, the SceneManager is the object that organizes everything.

A Ogre::SceneNode is what attaches an object to your scene. An Entity is anything represented by a mesh. The primary focus will be the Ogre::SceneManager, Ogre::SceneNode, and Ogre::Entity. It is often most useful to simply 'comment out' lines instead of removing them, because you never know when a stroke of inspiration will mean you want to reload some unused plugins.This first tutorial will cover the basic elements of building a scene in Ogre. You modify this file when you want to load a different set of plugins. This file tells Ogre which plugins to load.

Attention The above sample code must find plugins.cfg and resources.cfg to function properly. Alternatively, you can set the OGRE_CONFIG_DIR environment variable for a custom configuration file location. These files are searched in a set of predefined locations as described here. You'll slowly read more about them as you progress through the tutorials as well. We will briefly introduce you to each of these files. They control things like which plugins are loaded and where your application will search for resource files. Ogre uses several configuration files (*.cfg) in the INI format. On Unix they are split into share/OGRE for configuration files, lib/ for libraries and lib/OGRE for Plugins. On Windows, the library and configuration files for Ogre can be found in the bin folder of the SDK. These plugins start with 'RenderSystem_'. Ogre also uses plugins for the different render systems (such as OpenGL, DirectX, etc). The core plugins that are included with Ogre have names that start with 'Plugin_' and 'Codec_'. Ogre pushes a good portion of its functionality into plugins so that they may be turned on or off easily at runtime. Plugins The second group of shared libraries are the plugins. On Windows however, you will have to either add the sdk/bin folder to PATH or copy your executable into sdk/bin.

On Linux you will typically install these into /usr/local/ which is automatically searched by the linker, so nothing more to do. Main libraries The main library group contains the OgreMain library itself (named OgreMain.dll or libOgreMain.so depending on your platform) and the component libraries that rely on it. Ogre is divided into two library groups: main libraries and plugins.

OgreBites itself is also a good starting point if you need more control over the Camera or the Window creation.
