3D graphics engine for YDL 6.1 on the PS3?

Post by lougv22 »

So I want to do some simple game development for the PS3 on YDL 6.1. What would be a good 3D graphics engine to use? At work we use OGRE. Will that work on YDL?

Also, what are some good software development tools on YDL? Is there something similar to Visual Studio?

For now, no PS3-specific 3D graphics engine is available, except Mesa3D which is a software renderer. No official hardware 3D acceleration is available.

If you want a decent programming environment better use the officiel IBM Cell SDK :

The Cell SDK is provided in YDL but you can also install a PC version (to work on a PC) and execute the compiled programs on the PS3.
