C/C++ 3D game engines for Android?

[socratesJ]

I'm looking for a native 3d game engine or rendering engine that works
with Android. Anybody know of one?

There's work going on in OGRE (ogre3d.org) to support Android. It
seems to have stalled recently, though. I notice most of the open
source engines are being ported to iOS which gets you almost there on
the rendering side for Android. The big problem is figuring out
Android's build system to get these engines ported over.

I'm sure there are or soon will be commercial ones available, but I
haven't seen any announcements yet.

The PowerVR SDK also has a scene-graph based Android game engine:

Might be worth looking into, as it will probably be more optimized for
embedded games than OGRE would be.

Unity3D is best. Release is coming.

Hello,

I have ported Irrlicht on Android:
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=37235

Irrlicht Port has been used in few games:
- Moblox (http://www.ellismarkov.com/moblox)
- Air Hockey (http://www.ellismarkov.com/air-hockey-em)
- Destroy The World For Android (roguetreasure)
- Munchy Solitaire (munchyapps)

I choose Irrlicht over Ogre3D:
- NDK standard compatibility (no c++ exceptions or STL)
- library size Irrlicht.so < 2Mo (you can easily <1Mo) Ogre3D is just
huge >10Mo
- small engine versus big engine

As Ogre3D:
- Gui available
- Free licence (you can use it in commercial projects without paying)
- Many mesh format loaders (obj, md2, md3...)
- Open Source project with good community

Cool. I had considered irrlicht. It's the little project that could.
Ogre seems to be more popular, but it's a beast.

To be fair, Ogre can be trimmed down and I've seen it at around 5MB
for Android, but 2 is impressive.
