Recommend a 3D engine for a virtual tour of the building

Question

3D

Hey!
There is a task: to make a virtual 3D tour of the building (which is still in the project). Something like a mini-game in which you can only walk and see the beauty of what is happening. Cross-platform is desirable, but not required, including the ability to create a lightweight version for mobile devices on Android / iOS.

Please advise the engine on which this can be done relatively inexpensively and quickly.

I would also appreciate any information on this subject. Maybe there are developers who are doing this professionally in Russia.

Thank you!

Answer 1

For personal computers, at one time, not even an engine was used for such tasks, but Q2 and later Q3 games. The model of the room was simply drawn, exported to the required format and loaded in the game (of course, without bots, weapons, etc.)
The source code for both Q2 and Q3 is now open, and it’s not so easy to find a person who is / was involved in the creation of mods / maps for them difficult, let him explain what's what and do it yourself.
I don’t know how compatible it is with the original, but there is a kwaak3
port for Android. For iOS, it’s more difficult, if I understand correctly - you need a jailbreak to install the game not through the AppleStore.
something like that

Answer 2

It is enough to simply implement such a tour on the Blender Game Engine , it can even be launched in the browser through the plugin , but only on Windows and Linux. Panda3D
also has a web plugin, it works on Windows, Linux and macos.
You can write a full-fledged cross-platform application in C ++ and the OGRE engine , it will work on iOS and even on Android. But such development is not an easy task.
Perhaps the best solution would be to use Flash.

Answer 3

I join Unity3D.
By the way, it is paid only if you need to make a port on the iPhone, Android.
Indy version of Unity3D is free

Answer 4

in which you can only walk and contemplate the beauty of what is happening

Unigine is a great engine that, in my opinion, will perfectly show the beauty of what is happening. Proprietary, paid. Platforms: Microsoft Windows, Linux, PlayStation 3, Android.

BGE is cross-platform, you can compile under Windows, Linux, MacOS and even for mobile phones. As part of the more powerful Blender 3D toolkit, it's free, open source, easy to build, and you can connect a bunch of hardware renderers to suit every taste.
Also, if I were you, I would pay attention to projects that include OGRE
