In my quest for pretty lighting and other graphical subtleties (all of which are possible, but when all the solutions are added together it can end up being ugly), I have decided that the most comfortable solution is to use another rendering engine.
So, since I still want to code in B3d, I am considering writing a half-baked Ogre or Irrlicht wrapper. (Leaning towards Irrlicht, because their web site is W3C CSS and XHTML compliant... and because it impressed me with straight effects instead of pretty 3d models)
No, nothing that will be of use to other people, unfortunately; I would just make a DLL with functions that are needed by this particular project.
Has anyone else done something similar?
Do you have any tips, warnings, "don't do it!"s, or other such things to share?
