I've been learning OpenGL for a while now, i've gotten direct mode basically down, and I moved onto shaders and VBO/VAOs I know how they work for the most part. I have been making a 'Engine' that makes the basic things easier so instead of needing to rewrite how to load and render a mesh and texture with a shader I don't need to reinvent the wheel, basically. Unfortunately this has become much harder than I had originally thought specifically when it comes to animation.

Does anyone know any Wrapper Library's that combine Rendering Models, Animation, and Lighting together?

I guess your talking about something like Ogre3D

Yes Something like that. Ogre3D is something I've looked into before, I might have to go back and look through it now(Previously it made no sense to me so I spent time learning the OpenGL calls)

Irrlicht is a smaller, faster, less modern/advanced version of Ogre3D.  Personally, I prefer it that way because it's easier to understand and it performance tends to not to be an issue with it.

That looks interesting, Thank you! Ill definitely have to download that one and try it out.

I'm surprised that there isn't a Sticky thread with libraries like this in it. Just ones with things like Unity and RPG Maker. Unless I missed it(Which I don't doubt)
