> what use is there to display more than that? The problem is in most cases you have to render more than visible on the screen because of heavy occlusion. And modern graphic cards can come up to 10mil triangles/s in best cases. Well I know of someone who tweaked out 140mil triangles/s on an ATI R8500 but that's using heavy heavy tricking which isn't usefull for real applications. So now say you want decent frame rate of 30-40 frames/s that makes it leaving 250000 triangles/s and that's not too much. > point, why is there a need to more triangles? If a Java app can provide the The question already is are triangles the correct way?
