Im my last major project i must have called gltranslate a couple hundred times befor just starting to draw the scene. How could i adjust my 0,0,0 value to where i want it, and then use glLoadidentity() to reset back to that position and then put those values into my real matrix.

Translate a couple of hundred times
glPushMatrix();
(blah, do stuff here...
glPopMatrix();

forget about the glLoadIdentity.

Better would be to make a camera so you''d have to rotate/translate only once and not hundreds.....
