When the vertex list is drawn, it happens relative to the current origin, which you can change with glTranslatef. By translating before drawing the list (or batch) you can make the thing 'move'. You can use glLoadIdentity to reset the origin, or you can use glPushMatrix to push, glPopMatrix to pop. You can make your own group classes and put everything in your scene into one batch and render it with a single command - for example, a skybox, 3d geometry, and a 2-d HUD filled with sprites.
Also, you can render to a texture. The fixed_resolution.py example does this, although not directly. So you could create a sprite by drawing and then animate it as a sprite. -price On Aug 19, 3:51 pm, Darel Finkbeiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I just got into pyglet this week.
