One thing I've forgotten to mention in my previous replies is that it's really
unfair to compare the performance of an editor (MBC) with a viewer (LDView),
even if both are running on the same machine.  A viewer doesn't have to worry
about adding, removing, and moving pieces on the fly, so in theory can make
optimizations that can't be made in an editor.

As a consequence, despite how my previous posts may have appeared, I'm really
not trying to compare the performance between the two.  However, having said
that, many optimizations are appropriate to both an editor and a viewer.

(...) Yes, When loading I make a list of all the unique bricks in the model (colour and type) these are then cached as OpenGL lists of so when drawing, I then just call the various OpenGL lists. For the imperial star destroyer, this means even a (...) (20 years ago, 17-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
