Hi, can someone help me out here. I have a Solid Leaf BSP and my leafs are rendered as Tri Fans. However, every call i make, only has 4 or 5 vertices in it, then i call the Draw Primitive. I have my leafs sorted by textures prior to rendering, to cut down on state changes. my question is, can someone help me out with an algorithm behind converting a tri fan of vertices to a tri list so that i can cache them all into a vertex buffer, then into an index buffer for a performance enhancement. thanks much

you just loop for the numvertices -2, that also gives the number of triangles. The order of them will be 0, i+1, i+2 (you can get some paper to see how it works). This will convert them to lists, which is usually better than strips to reduce render calls.
