That article is for Director 3D, not OpenGL. That does not necessarily mean it is also true for OpenGL, let alone all OpenGL hardware implementations. Everything else I have ever read about OGL implementations tells me that textures are a more efficient way to add visual data to a model. Granted, alpha channels do put a big performance hit on some cards. Josh ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
