I know that pre-comiling a certain object makes your program run a lot faster but can anyone tell me how to pre-compile a quadratic (ex. sphere/cylinder)???? TTFN BEEF

just like any other DL. just star DL, draw quadratic and end DL.

You should never let your fears become the boundaries of your dreams.

You will need to make different display lists for each of the quadric objects...

listID = glGenList(1);

glNewList(listID, GL_COMPILE);
gluSphere(....);
glEndList();
