I read about sphere tree(in Programming gems) and I have 2 questions: 1. What is parent and node in this tree? 2. What is better: octree or sphere tree?

1) The parent of each node (except root) is a sphere which spatially contains all of its child nodes.

2) Depends. What for?

RIP GameDev.net: launched 2 unusably-broken forum engines in as many years, and now has ceased operating as a forum at all, happy to remain naught but an advertising platform with an attached social media presense, headed by a staff who by their own admission have no idea what their userbase wants or expects.Here's to the good times; shame they exist in the past.
