Hello everybody!!
I know I would be very boring, but I´m very interested in some Multitexture
ticks:
Why multitexture costs so much in performance? It is a very heavy process.
If I compare multitexture to Java2D image processing tasks, Java2D is more
efficient.
For blending textures, I think it

I wonder what's better performance wise. Having many shapes with
the same material or having one shape with the same material but having
many geometry nodes? I know that Performer for example makes a material
sorting to cut down costs for OGL setMaterial calls.

There is a bug in multi-texturing right now. They do not use display lists
for multi-texturing, only vertex arrays. Also, if you are using more texture
units than is supported on the card then it is rendered in mutliple
rendering passes.

Could it be that *preparing* the scene for rendering is the bottle-neck? If
you are running behaviors of computing positions for objects this could be
taking longer than rendering the frames. You could also try disabling V-sync

Hi, David! Thanks for your answer.
Maybe I didn't explain well.
I realized that using multitexture was a too much cost process for frame
rating,
so I tried to make the multitexture in an offscreen pre-rendering process.
Why is better Java3D multitexture?

Let's say that you want to apply two textures, Ta and Tb to one or more
shapes. If the effect that you want is for Ta and Tb to be overlaid on
each other such that the texture coordinates for the two are always the
same and the sizes of Ta and Tb are the same, then combine them into a

Ronald,
Upgrade the Win2000 machine with Java 3D 1.2.1 and you should see a huge
performance increase. Your situation was intriguing because assuming
equivalent setups the faster machine should have been easily faster
unless there was a software throttle keeping the frame rate from going
up.

Hi Jack,
that would be great!! :-) J3d is a API I really want to work with. I
already tried other APIs like Inventor or Sense8's Toolkit. They have
their advantages but I think j3d is the better solution.

Just out of curiosity, do you have 'vertical sync' enabled? It's probably
called different things on different cards. But it's one reason why a small

your refresh rate (60 hz). Turn off vertical sync and you'll see yoursel

However, the last question is a good one. Knowing whether or not a object
