Nice to see that everything is ok. Those arms need to be fixed anyway. In
the mean time I tried to speed up rendering using the vertex array range and
fences extension on a geforce3. This seems to be about as fast as display
lists but uses less memory. In the case of smooth sufaces indices can be
shared due to vertex cache. I could make a speedup by sorting vertices
spatially. I also discovered in a document in the nvidia sdk that 2 sided
lighting is almost for free on geforce3 products or higher in the case of
'infinite viewer/light source'. Another advantage of using 'infinite
viewer/light source' is that you don't have to tesselate surfaces for
acceptable lighting. This is not done with the bricks on the cover of the
red opengl book and the shading looks a bit strange.
