Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to the message boards and have been game programming for about a year now. I'm currently taking on the challenge of developing a large-scale level for a game project I'm working on with a team of developers. The level is a typical suburban neighborhood; flat, six blocks parallel to one another, each block lined w/ houses and seperated by a street. I'm still in the pre-planning process and would appreciate a few suggestions on what I should use to arrange/render the neighborhood geometry. My one question is: What's a necessary container to organize the level (i.e. Quad-Tree, Oct-Tree, BST, etc. ) ? If you have any suggestions or places of reference, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanx so much. Happy programming, ~Brian

Since you're inquiring about graphics, I'll move this from Game Design to Theory, where you'll get a better response.
