Hi, I''ve just finished adding octree culling to my engine and it seems to be working fine, the problem is if I face a direction with alot of nodes the frame rate plummets from around 80fps to about 15. Could anyone point me to some method of speeding up the octree? Thanks Lukerd Hyperdev

well, not only should you have frustum culling, but you should also have back face culling so polygons the are behind others shouldn''t be seen. this is another good use for an octree since you can take out nodes of polys at a time. this won''t guarantee a huge speedup, but it should help.
also, how are you rendering stuff? you could probably optimize there aswell.
