Ogre 3D 1.7

Time for action — adding a plane and a light

Everything we are going to add this time is going in the createScene() function:

1. As we already know we need a plane definition, so add one:

   Ogre::Plane plane(Ogre::Vector3::UNIT_Y, -5);
   Ogre::MeshManager::getSingleton().createPlane("plane",
   Ogre::ResourceGroupManager::DEFAULT_RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME, plane,
   1500,1500,200,200,true,1,5,5,Ogre::Vector3::UNIT_Z);
   

2. Then create an instance of this plane, add it to the scene, and change the material:

   Ogre::Entity* ground= _sceneManager->createEntity("LightPlaneEntity", "plane");
   _sceneManager->getRootSceneNode()->createChildSceneNode()->attachObject(ground);
   ground->setMaterialName("Examples/BeachStones");
   

3. Also we would like to have some light in the scene; add one ...
