Resources to learn Urho3D

Hi,

I am very interested to use Urho3D HoloLens as an alternative to Unity. However it seems there are very few documentation and tutorial available over the internet. Besides its official websites at https://urho3d.github.io/documentation/1.5/index.html; is there other links or tutorial that could help me to learn Urho3D ?

Any suggestion will be most appreciated.

Regards,

Jimmy

  • Xamarin build a version of Urho3D for C#. Here you can find some samples: https://github.com/xamarin/urho-samples

    There is just not much available. There are lots of urho samples, but often the samples won't run on hololens, except for the hololens specific samples. Also, various pieces of the engine are not completed or partially implemented. For instance, if you want to serialize a node out of the box it will require additional work. There are lots of silent failures that occur here and there. You'll likely have to get into the C++ code in order to troubleshoot or enhance, and that is quite a hefty undertaking. Get prepared for a painful journey if you go down this path. It's fraught with risk.

  • @utekai: Do you think that Unity is a better alternative than Urho to develop HoloLens applications ? Urho sounded attractive as it works also with Xamarin.
    Is there any HoloLens emulator available (for Visual Studio 2017), which allows the test of HoloLens applications on the development workstation ?
