Using glDrawRangeElements by sorting, not splittiing, models of differing materials
Author
I had originally planned on splitting up my models into groups based on the materials of their surfaces (or can materials be split up by vertex?). However, I'm thinking perhaps I don't have to. I'll just sort the polygons by materials and then keep an array of structures (or hell even a class) that holds the position of the material change in the index list and the material properties themselves. So I could do something like this:
Does that look good? Or is making multiple calls to glDrawRangeELements going to kill the efficiency I recieve from it?
