Is there a free and unlimited open source 3D engine for Android? Something that is a direct, thin layer to the NDK?

I have only found two engines: Unity and Shiva 3D. But no free or open source ones.

Open Source C++ 3D Engine available for Android:

  • Ogre3D: the best open source 3d engine but it is a large framework
  • Irrlicht: good performance, light framework. I use it
  • libgdx: Java API with NDK code

  • \$\begingroup\$ Not mature but usable. If you want develop a real game, that's not the most difficult part. We (at IOPixel) are using Irrlicht as Engine3D but we have rewrite many parts... If you search simplicity and performance, Unity3D is a good choice. \$\endgroup\$
