|

I recently stumbled across a talk about how to make OpenGL programs a lot faster. It was held by Eskil Steenberg, a member of the OpenGL Architectural Review Board, at Blender Conference 2006.
Here the links:

I haven't looked at the Yage sources though, so I have no idea if you already do it the way that Eskil recommends.
Thought it might interest you.

Yage already uses VBO's on all hardware that supports it. I haven't gone so far as to sort objects by state or z-depth (beyond translucent ones), but it wouldn't be hard to support, as things are already organized. I hope to try it out sooner or later and do some profiling.
All camera's already render directly to textures. SDL doesn't support pbuffers and my hardware doesn't support FBO's (Radeon x600), so I'll have to wait for the next upgrade before supporting them.
The shader tips would've been helpful about three months ago before I ran into crazy limits and had no clue what was going on
Many of the other optimization tips I'm already using, but there were a few things there and there I didn't know, so the link is appreciated. |
