Good day to all.. Is it possible to use this 2 libraries together? Say use SDL for the menu and 2D GUI and then 3D for the gameplay itself. Is it possible to do that?

yes, the way I understood it OGRE has features that cover the menu and GUI, but I could be wrong

ya theres a gui for ogre itself but is it possible to use SDL? I cant figure how to incorprate the 2 since they both use different methods to run the main()

no, you'd have to stick to one or the other as far as I know

If you mean use SDL to render the GUI, and Ogre to render the 3D stuff, then no. The two are incompatible.

Check out cegui, there should be many mentions of using it with ogre in the ogre3d forums.
