Getting Started

Good reasons to use Ramses:

  • You want to use a free and open source library for rendering
  • A full game engine is overkill for you
  • You need to offer interactive content over network, and video
    streaming is not an option
  • You need a cross-platform solution which promises the same
    results across OS and drivers
  • You want to composite different sources of 3D and/or 2D data
    into one scene (3D compositing)
