Dont forget Crystal Space as a game engine, but it's not newbie
oriented at all. However it's probably one of the best open source
engine.

PS: I am not involved in it and I don't use it :)

 Yes I have heard good things about Irrlicht also. I imagine it is a bit
more newbie friendly.
 We found that the Ogre forums/wiki/book were helpful in getting up and
running, if you want to look into that.

 well, IMHO Ogre3D is NOT the easiest newbie engine, quite the opposite --
very hard to get started, more than a days worth of
installation/configuration.

 easier is Irrlicht, it is quite featurerich too but not THAT feature rich,
and really simple to get started. i was rendering my first "cube" within an
hour ...

 good luck!
