| | | (...) Having written an OpenGL-based LDraw viewer (LDView), I'd like to point out that you can't rely on parts to contain BFC information. As time goes by, more and more parts are BFC certified, but many aren't, and many may never be. (I hope that (...) (20 years ago, 18-May-04, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | Hi I agree its a shame about the incomplete BFC situation. Currently I use Two-Sided lighting in GLIDE you don't notice the performance hit because most of the processing effort is done by the CPU at the moment. That’s what slows it down rather than (...)

| | | | | | (...) This is only true to a point. As long as you have a reasonably modern video card, its on-board geometry performance is going to far exceed the geometry performance you could get out of the fastest CPU. I don't know how GLIDE does its drawing, (...) (20 years ago, 19-May-04, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | | (...) Possibly not the best way I could have worded it. GLIDE in its current form is inefficient. There is some redundant sorting and a lot of list iteration that the CPU does before it calls on OGL. This is the main speed-limiting factor. With (...) (20 years ago, 20-May-04, to lugnet.cad)
