Time for action — preparing a scene

We will use a slightly different version of the scene from the previous chapter:

  1. Delete all code in the createScene() and the createCamera() functions.
  2. Delete the createViewports() function.
  3. Add a new member variable to the class. This member variable is a pointer to a scene node:
    private:
Ogre::SceneNode* _SinbadNode;
  4. Create a plane and add it to the scene using the createScene() method:
    Ogre::Plane plane(Vector3::UNIT_Y, -10);
Ogre::MeshManager::getSingleton().createPlane("plane",
ResourceGroupManager::DEFAULT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME, plane,
1500,1500,200,200,true,1,5,5,Vector3::UNIT_Z);
Ogre::Entity* ent = mSceneMgr->createEntity("LightPlaneEntity", "plane");
mSceneMgr->getRootSceneNode()->createChildSceneNode()->attachObject(ent);
ent->setMaterialName("Examples/BeachStones");
  5. Then add a light to the scene:
    Ogre::Light* light = mSceneMgr->createLight("Light1");
light->setType(Ogre::Light::LT_DIRECTIONAL);
light->setDirection(Ogre::Vector3(1,-1,0));
  6. We also need an instance of Sinbad; create a node and attach the instance to it:
    Ogre::SceneNode* node = mSceneMgr->createSceneNode("Node1");
mSceneMgr->getRootSceneNode()->addChild(node);
Ogre::Entity* Sinbad = mSceneMgr->createEntity("Sinbad", "Sinbad.mesh");
_SinbadNode = node->createChildSceneNode("SinbadNode");
_SinbadNode->setScale(3.0f,3.0f,3.0f);
_SinbadNode->setPosition(Ogre::Vector3(0.0f,4.0f,0.0f));
_SinbadNode->attachObject(Sinbad);
  7. We also want shadows in this scene; so activate them:
    mSceneMgr->setShadowTechnique(SHADOWTYPE_STENCIL_ADDITIVE);
  8. Create a camera and position it at (0,100,200) and let it look at (0,0,0); remember to add the code to the createCamera() function:
    mCamera = mSceneMgr->createCamera("MyCamera1");
mCamera->setPosition(0,100,200);
mCamera->lookAt(0,0,0);
mCamera->setNearClipDistance(5);
  9. Compile and run the application, and you should see the following image:

What just happened?

We used the knowledge from the previous chapters to create a scene. We should be able to understand what happened. If not, we should go back to the previous chapters and read them again until we understand everything.
