realXtend Tundra 2.0

Tundra is a scriptable 3D internet application development platform. It is aimed primarily for application developers, as a platform for creating networked 3D worlds with customized content.

Tundra is licensed under Apache 2.0 and based on Qt and Ogre3D.

Getting Started

Tundra uses a traditional server-client architecture for networking. After installing you will find the Tundra executable from the install directory, run Tundra --help for available commands.

This executable can be configured to run a set of C++ and JavaScript plugins. You can make your own config or use the ones that we ship. Here is some examples:

Tundra --config viewer.xml
Tundra --config plugins.xml --server --port 6565 --protocol udp
Tundra --config server-headless.xml --server --headless

The Tundra server mode is used for standalone-mode editing and viewing Tundra documents. To host a 3D scene, run Tundra in dedicated mode using the --headless command line option. The Tundra viewer mode is the client that is used to connect to a server.

Compiling from sources

Tundra source code is available at the realXtend github repository. This repository hosts various branches for new and old viewers from the realXtend team, so be sure to checkout tundra2 branch after cloning.

Tundra uses CMake as its build system and depends on various other open source projects. See more from doc/dependencies.txt.

Windows

For windows we support Visual Studio 2008 and 2010 build environments. Here are the quick steps for VC2008 after you have cloned the git repo. Same steps apply to VC2010, just with different batch scripts.

  1. Install CMake. (>= 2.8 is recommended)
  2. Run win_update_deps_vs2008.bat to acquire the prebuilt dependencies.
  3. Go through the CMakeBuildConfigTemplate.txt if you want to customise the build.
  4. Run win_cmake_vs2008.bat, this will generate a .sln solution file.
  5. Open the solution file with Visual Studio 2008 and build.
