I've had a look, and I think I can change the code to create a single PrimitiveSet for each cloud fairly easily. On thinking about this a bit more, one thing that I don't quite understand is why the behaviour for clouds should differ so much from our random vegetation. The random vegetation code we have is very similar - a small number of geometries being used again and again. Yet, the performance is far, far better, even with much higher numbers of objects. I had thought that the main difference was the use of transparency, where the clouds are larger and generally more transparent than the trees. If so, and the alpha blending of the textures has the most impact on framerate, will changing the geometry help significantly? Or is it the case that the transparency _within_ a geometry is much more effectively handled by OSG than the transparency between different geometries? -Stuart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
