Hi Robert, I got the stats handler working on our scene and displaying. I am not sure I understand what the different numbers mean and how I might work with them. I can see the optimization effort is a big deal. I know it is beyond the scope of this group. Are there any resources out there to look at?
I have finished the work you had already mentioned, like using png rather than bmp everywhere. We are also working on making sure our images are as small as possible. We are also going to work on using LOD. Since we are in space and most ships are far away, we are sure we can make a big jump there. I used osgUtil::Optimizer and that game me a few more frames. What are some other suggestions? We are using some particle effects pretty heavily, and we noticed (using filemon) that the smoke image file is being read over and over again, many times (perhaps once per frame). Is this possible? We are going to look into that next. Maybe we can cache the single image (state set)?
