Huge Meshes

[krama757]

Guys Im wondering, with the octree and frustrum culling present in Irrlicht, it is possible to make one large city model and import it and not have it lag?

i think it should be possible, the techdemo level runs quite good. maybe the use of fog and camera cliprange can improve the rendering speed too

If you had one huge mesh, and you used an OCTreeSceneNode, then yeah it should be good to go

Thats what it was made for. Still is good to LOD your meshes. The less triangles you have in your scene the better.

Aye, Ill add LOD also.

The previous engine I was using, Truevision 3D, would lag a TON if there was one large mesh rendered on scene.

Irrlicht is soo much better...
