The Irrlicht Engine is an open source high performance realtime 3D engine written and usable in C++ and also available for .NET languages. It is completely cross-platform, using D3D, OpenGL and its own software renderer, and has all of the state-of-the-art features which can be found in commercial 3d engines.
This engine is great for starters that want to make the games in c++ with an open source engine that they can modify to suit their needs and pay absolutely no royalties.
