here, at 20fps, no lighting, i can draw about 500 model with your sphere.obj. 1000 sphere 30, and about 3500 display list of sphere 30. using an other sphere.obj with about 900 triangles, i've got the same performance than with the display list.
it really is strange that the sphere is the fastest on your computer. Cyrille Le 09/03/2011 19:08, John Harrison a écrit :
Using Cyrille's test patch for speed which he sent into the list a week or so ago, I tried creating multiple spheres, gemlists, and models. The sphere is getting the best performance results, unfortunately. Attached is my test patch. I just connected [repeat] to either [sphere] [GEMglCallList] or [model] in the patch. The sphere model I used has probably got way too many points (just found it on the 'net) but my hope was that as the vertices were static it wouldn't matter. http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~guskov/eecs598-1/sphere.obj maybe one with less vertices will help. I can try... -John On Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 9:48 AM, chris clepper <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: A model is the way to go since the vertex data is static. Ideally for situations like this there would be one object that loads a single model and several clients that just call the display list. Although there is a lot of memory on GPUs now so 200 models of a sphere won't take up that much.

Seems like recompilation would have to happen for every sphere for every frame? I haven't tried the model yet... yes, the display list will help to render 1 single sphere. you have to call it 200 times. Ok I'm seeing a huge performance difference between using 200 of [sphere <size-doesn't-matter> 20] and [sphere <size-doesn't-matter> 30]. Huge. So if I want to keep the sphere with 30 points, I'm thinking gemlist or model are my answer. I'll try both and report back, unless you have a strong recommendation for one or the other to save me time. This list is awesome. Where else could I find help like this? :-) -John _______________________________________________ [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list -- John http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~harrison/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
