I'd second Ogre, its fantastic, and if you just happen to be a 3dsmax user, things are even simpler. Completely WYSIWYG scene editing in a ogre rendered 3dsmax viewport.
It comes with a scene loader that basicly loads your scenes into a list that lets you to pick entities out of the scenemanager and manipulate them much as you would in 3dsmax.
The pro version also has a Ofusion serializer saving library that will autommaticly save your scenes intact should you use it in your app alongside the scene loader.
Currently messing with shaders using the media from B3D aerial antics, which you can see in the following screenshots. Early days yet and will look a lot better soon :) Currently using the same old low res b3d textures, with simple photoshop filter normal maps.
