Background
Author
I''m doing space scene/animation. So I need stars in background. I made a simple polygon far away down the z-axis but it seems to be a significant performance hit.
Is there any faster way? And is there a posibility that I load that background once and then never redraw it, only stuff closer to camera?
Some pseudo-code would be great.
One polygon in the background is a performance hit??
How the hell did you manage that??! How big is the texture you are using for it?
Try explaining a bit more about your scene... Is it all just a 2D background? Or do you only want the stars in the background of a 3D scene?
Look into skyboxes, skyplanes, and skydomes...

The absolutly simplest manner is just to use a skybox or varient thereof, there is a good tutorial on sky box at GameTutorials:

That should get you started, you can even use a combination of
skybox and dynamic object/effects to create more of a feeling
of depth to your background.

Looks nice?
Anyway, tex is 512x512.
How about other question, can I clear only stuff in front of background since it is not moving anyway?
