Hi Folks! Has anyone some good tutorials about T&L? Thx, Austrian Coder

glRotatef(), glTranslatef() ...

[i.e. if you use gl (geometry) function and the graphics board supports hw T&L youl'll have hw T&L...]

Oh thats great.

Thanks

BUT.....

Imagine this
glBegin(...)
for (x=0;x<100000;x++)
{
glVertex3f(...)
}
glEnd();

lots of calls to glVertex3f = function call overhead = bad.

Look into VAR (VertexARrays). 1 call, lots of triangles.

VAR Stands for Vertex Array Range (NV_vertex_array_range). it''s different than VAs and CVAs. VARs are supported only by geforce chipset or higher.

And a while ago ATI released Vertex Array Objects (unfortunately it only works on WIN 2000/XP) which store the actual vertex array''s on the Video Card''s Ram. You need a card running on the Original Radeon chip or the R200 (Radeon 8500)
