Reducing the number of files may not be important to rendering speed, but it is (...) (23 years ago, 3-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| (...) I don't know about all situations (POV, etc), but for real-time rendering in OpenGL, the fastest rendering generally occurs with the fewest number of triangles (assuming that the triangles specify the same final geometry). The fact is that (...) (23 years ago, 3-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| (...) I understand that. But the question specified that the number of triangles (actually polygons, but feel free to assume triangles) is fixed. (...) So size of the polygons doesn't matter. Hmm. I'll have to remember that. Steve (23 years ago, 3-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| (...) Sorry, it was a false alarm. There are no duplicated primitives. AFAIK. Steve (23 years ago, 4-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| (...) Well, it can matter, but isn't likely to in a LDraw renderer. It would matter if the program ever became fill-rate limited, but that usually won't happen, except with very simple models. --Travis Cobbs (tcobbs@REMOVE.halibut.com) (23 years ago, 4-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| (...) That makes me feel better, becuase I was the one who submitted those two primitves. We should probably come to some sort of FORMAL decision as to wether to use the old ringX name or move them all into 4-4ringX primitives. (23 years ago, 4-May-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

| (...) I think we should move to using the 4-4ringX nomenclature. a) Copy RINGx.DAT (x=1,2,3,4,7) to 4-4RINGx and RING10.DAT to 4-4RIN10.DAT, replacing with ~moved-to files. b) Make the PT reject new submissions that use the old names? c) Automated (...)
