Is it possible to render a heightfield with 1 triangle strip? if so, what''s the algo to do that?
Actualy you can but it''s a bad idea. Split your terrain into chunks(16x16 or 32x32) and first do some frustum cullling and then only render posibly visible chunks of terrain. Also try using VA/VAR/VAO first...

There are more worlds than the one that you hold in your hand...
You should never let your fears become the boundaries of your dreams.

I''m not talking about a terrain. I use a CLOD algorithm for my Terrain and it works fine... this is for something else... so would you be so kind please?
I don''t think, especially with CLOD, that you can do this... the triangles all have to be connecting, so this would be trouble with CLOD... maybe with a static heightfield, but this would probably cause more trouble than save time.
