C++ graphics libs?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/C++ graphics libs?

Hey guys,

I've been trying to learn C++ for while now and have been messing with a graphics library called allegro. Seems to support a lot of the same features as Blitz Max, but doesn't seem to perform as well. I'm still looking so see if I can find some other options. I was wondering if you guys knew of any others that are good. Allegro looks like it mostly supports 2d. I would hope to find something that would support both 2d and 3d. I have the blitz sdk and have been messing with that too.

Thanks.

HGE - for 2d projects. http://hge.relishgames.com/overview.html

TV3D - for both http://www.truevision3d.com/

C4 Engine http://www.terathon.com/c4engine/index.php

But as far as I can see if it has 3d features then things will be a lot more complicated and be designed mainly for 3d projects (use HGE for a 2d project).

There are other graphics libs out there - but they have no sound or other features required for games production.
