I hope this isn't *too* dumb a question, but I'm still trying to understand C++ (and all the interesting language of the build log [MS Visual Studio 2005]) with me coming from a Visual Basic 6 background, lol! First off, your demo runs flawlessly for me, and am very impressed! Appreciate all the har...

If that doesn't help enough, then you will get a big gain by making one scene node that has a single mesh for all of the grass quads. I gave that idea a try; with focusing on triangles previously, I didn't realize that node management might have large demands as well. So last night, I created "...
