Geomipmapping & triangle fan
Author
my geomipmapping is too slow...11fps with triangle fan
but using triangle list,even bruteforce can got 100fps
how can I solve this...any idea is appreciated.

Have you thought about using ROAM instead?
Chris
For even slower results?
With the current 3D hardware there is no need for ROAM or CPU based calculations. Of course it is a great thing to learn to understand, but hardware solutions are a much better alternative.

I am assuming you mean the algorithm by Willem H. de Boar. I have also implemented this and have not had the same problems so you should be able to get much better FPS.
I see you render using only triangle fans. What I did is render the entire patch with one triangle strip and between each patch I used fans to compensate for the different sampling level.
I would recommend that you strip every thing off and see what happens, try to locate the bottle neck. Try rendering with no textures, constant height and ext so you focus only on the algorithm.
By the way I’m not entirely convinced that this algorithm is really better than ROAM

Well, I guess you read the book by Trent Polack.
I''m working on a terrain project at the moment as well, but in contrast to Trent, I use two important things: TrianglesStrips and Indexbuffers.
You can use fans (it''s easier) without any great performance losses.
But as countless vertices appear more than once, I would create one big vertex buffer with all vertices appearing in the terrain. Then, I would use an index buffer for every patch and fill it with the according values.
And last, I recommend you to use the L1-Norm for calculating distances, square-Roots are incredibly slow (in general, be careful that you use the most efficient algorithms to detect the LOD dynamically...)
Greetings,
Chris

since modern hardware does autostripping from independant triangles, and the lower state changes the better, you should try to cache your terrain into a unique/or some VertexBuffer/IndexBuffer couple(s), and draw it entirely throught few DrawIndexedPrimitve calls. (the index buffer make the GPU use its Post-T&L cache).
how much triangles have you per DrawPrimitve ? ( too few means you are cpu/DrawPrimitve bound, too few would be below 30-100 triangles, the higher triangle count between DrawPrimitve calls the better efficiency)

Of the two terrain books I''ve read so far, they start out with Geomipmapping and then discuss why ROAM is faster. The examples always run faster as well. They are fairly recent books, but I have no doubt they could be wrong. I should mention that they use the ROAM algorithm as a basis and then implement it much more efficiently. Anyway, I''m curious what book you guys are reading on Geomipmapping. I would like to check it out too. Also, what hardware solutions are you talking about Imperil? I''m still trying to learn the best way to approach terrain rendering, and any info would help.
Thanks!
Chris

to OrenGL:
I have thinked a lot,but I still can''t imagine how to render the entire patch with one triangle strip.the frustum culling may cull many patchs.
to Christoph Well:
sure,I''m now reading the book by Trent Polack
I found it''s hard to render geomipmapping using TriangleStrips & IndexBuffers,say,when I go forward or backward the terrain,large amount of vertices will be added or emitted to/from the terrain.how can u do this like that?
to bjone:
you mean buffer the vertices,and calculate the visible triangles every frame and render them once?
