Rendering 3D World Quickly
Author
Hellooo,
I am having this problem in my program, where if i try to render more than 3 or 4 3D objects, it starts getting significantly slower. The 3D objects are just a buncha verts compiled into a display list and they have textures. When creating the display lists, i use OGL calls, glVertex3f, glColor3f, glTex.... and i use SDL for windowing.
Soo, i'm wondering what i could do to speed it up. I know that many other games have hundreds of objects that are being rendered, but are still fast.
Please and thanks!

my gfx card is a nVidiaGeForceGo 6800, and i'm rendering a decent amount of verts. Though, i dont want a solution that will only work for a set amount of verts(i guess enough for a nice tree X however many trees) or my specific grafics card.
Are you doing any sorting to group all the facets that use the same textures???
Constantly switching textures can be a performance dog.
Likewise constantly copying data into the graphics memory (from system memory)
can also cause slowdowns.
Backface culling turned on ??

Yeah, render-state changes are very bad for performance so you want to group render-states as much as possible. Use VBOs also since that puts the verts in video memory instead of sending them across the bus every frame.
