assen Member	posted January 12, 2000 05:58 AM UPDATE: on a Voodoo it _won't_ work unless you change the "TextureSize" param to 256 in the config file and re-run the heightfield generator PERLIN.EXE; The skyboxes will be scaled OK, though, courtesy of the excellent glPNG library. I get something like 50 fps with 2000-3000 triangles, and around 25-30 fps with 8000 triangles on CPUs in the PII/400 range, on videocards from Savage3D to TNT2M64. Unfortunately, my code seems to be the bottleneck, not the video card - it's not fillrate limited below 800x600. Note: The ZIP file weighs around 1.3 MB. Most of it are the skybox textures, sorry :-) IP:

assen Member	posted January 21, 2000 03:27 PM Yes, please take a screenshot with and without fog. I seem to have problems with the fog on my Savage3d, and SGI's software renderer is waaay too slow to debug with it... IP:
