Excuse my Direct3D statment, I guess OpenGL is the way to go because of
the linux crowd (plus, thinking a little more....OpenGL is actually
faster than Direct3D).
But the rendering engine in my view is less important mainly because as
I said in my first post, it will create more culling problems than it
might be worth. I've experienced this firsthand when importing a brick
into Zmodeler: primitives that have been "flipped" are inside-out. I
suppose anything that reads BFC statments should correct this but
unfortunatley the LightWave convertor I used before convering them to
3DS doesn't.
