John -- If you can't upgrade to the new kdtree functionality, I can think of a couple ways to speed things up off the top of my head. 1) If some of the entities are robots, you could pre-compute their orientation and position. 2) Assuming the eyepoint isn't right next to all 300 tanks simultaneously, take advantage of LOD to avoid doing precise position and orientation computations. Hope that helps, -Paul

So for 300 tanks, the height and normal computation will be performed 300 times per frame which takes about 700 ms during the update traversal from the traversal time graphical display. What can be done to reduce the update time and yet able to achieve my aim of positioning the tanks correctly on the terrain?

Your own physics code? Intersection code? You have said anything about what you do in the update other that update positions. Robert.
