Could anyone suggest a really good article on batching? I understand the idea behind it. I''m just having a problem envisioning an implementation that touch the vertex/index buffers so often and still come out with a performance gain. I need a good, technical piece that will help me understand all that is going on behind the scenes. Thanks! LEJ
