I've got a little question. Why are you working so hard on BFC.
The rendering in Ldraw, L3lab, MLcad,.... is already very fast.
Is the speed improvement gained with BFC supposed to provide the extra time,
so you can turn an model in realtime, with a rendering quality equal to
pov-ray?
Why don't you use the 3D-videocard's rendering capabilities through opengl
or so?

  If you use a 3D card then the speed increase from BFC becomes
negligible, I've tried to activate BFC on LeoCAD and it didn't show a
big difference with the current library. Keep in mind that the current
cards (except the newer GeForce) have a very good fill rate and are only
limited by the geometry transformations.

Or am I just completely missing the point?

  What else are we going to do ? :)
