Names no longer need to be unique and are optional meaning two SceneNodes can now have the same name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-prismatic-blocks\"><code class=\"language-cpp\">Entity *myEnt = sceneManager-&gt;createEntity( &quot;meshName.mesh&quot; );\nmyEnt-&gt;setName( &quot;myEntityName&quot; ); \/\/This call is optional<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>There is now a new Compositor, heavily inspired by <a href=\"http:\/\/local.brightwhiz\/tag\/blender\">Blender<\/a>&#8216;s Compositor system, which is the way to tell Ogre how you want to render the scene. With the Compositor, the user no longer needs to deal with setting Viewports, RenderTargets, updating these RenderTargets every frame, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The user has now to set up Nodes and a Workspace. The workspace is the top-level system where the user indicates which Nodes he wants to use and how they will be connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HLMS which stands for &#8220;High Level Material System&#8221; is the new material system used in Ogre 2.0. It comes with updated user-friendly features and better performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out more about the many new features including but not limited to Area lights, Parallax Corrected Cubemaps, Forward Clustered lights, HDR, and Exponential Shadowmaps, you can visit the Ogre manual <a href=\"https:\/\/ogrecave.github.io\/ogre-next\/api\/2.1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can download the Ogre 2.1 Baldur release SDK from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ogre3d.org\/download\/sdk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.
