[JAVA3D] AW: [JAVA3D] cylinder, box, cone share there geometry??

[Florin Herinean]

If the spheres are identical (in size and number of points), then using SharedGroups and Links will increase the memory usage than simply creating 1000 new Spheres. And because SharedGroup/Link combination is "heavyweight" compared to a Sphere, you will also decrease the overall performance of the system.   Florin -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Silvio Simone [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Freitag, 29.

In the Utils API documentation they write, that Box, Cylinder Cones... share there geometry because they extends Primitive. So if I have a scene with 1000 same Spheres. It is useless to implement they as SharedGroups and Links because java3d does something similar intern?? I spend they same amount of memory as if I create 1000 Spherese with: new Sphere()??
