What GL functionality are you using?[/quote]

I'm using VertexBufferObjects for the geometry data and a few "deprecated" calls for displaying the colors in the sidebar. (See the screenshot in my first post).
The geometry is shaded, colored and lighted via Deferred rendering and Screenspace Ambient Occlusion.

I don't use glut or something else, i have my own engine with C++ and glew.

So what rendering method are you using now?[/quote]


Currently i have a loop like this, but it doesn't work realy good. It is an very old code fragment from one of my "BlitzBasic3D" codes, maybe 5 years old.
But in Blitz3D, there was a function "RenderWorld( float FrameTween = ?)" placed inside the updating loop too:

My focus was mostly the engine, the shaders, the rendering scripts, and and and... and now i thought about a newer and better rendering loop ;)

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){

if (!cAppMain::Initialize(argc,argv)){
cCoreConsole::cout<<"Unable to initialize client\r\n";
cCoreConsole::Flush();
return 0;
}

bool bQuit = 0;
float FrameEllapsed = 0.0f;
float MaxFrames = 35.0f;
unsigned int FramePeriod = 1000.0f / MaxFrames;
unsigned int FrameTime = GetTickCount() - FramePeriod;

while(!bQuit){

unsigned long iCalcStart = GetTickCount();
unsigned long AcTime = GetTickCount();

do{
AcTime = GetTickCount();
FrameEllapsed = AcTime - FrameTime;
}while(!FrameEllapsed);

int FrameTicks = FrameEllapsed / FramePeriod;

for (int ticks=0;ticks<FrameTicks;ticks++){
FrameTime = FrameTime + FramePeriod;

if (cAppMain::onEvent()){ //Returns true, if the user hit the [x]button
bQuit = true;
break;
}
cAppMain::onUpdate(); //Updates messages/events

if (!cAppMain::bInActive){
cGLDriver::UpdateWorld(); //Matrix calculation of each registered object (If changes where made)
cVgVoxelFactory::onUpdate(); //Updates the voxelfactory, recalculates voxels (If changes where made)

cAppMain::lpMainViewport->UpdatePickings(); //Updates the pickings - editor only
cVmSidebar::UpdateSidebar(); //Updates the sidebar - editor only

cAppMain::lpMainViewport->UpdateViewport(); //Updates the movements in editor

cUIManager::ClearKeyStates(); //Clears the keystates, to avoid double clicking
}

cCoreConsole::Flush();
cGLDriver::Flush();
}

if (!cAppMain::bInActive){

cAppMain::lpMainViewport->RenderScreen(); //Renders all things to screen
cVmSidebar::RedrawSidebar(); //Renders the sidebars color changer
}

cLuaObjectBuffer::FlushTimer();
}

cAppMain::onShutdown();

}


ugh... The player can "see" over 200FPS (if they had a 200HZ monitor instead of a 60HZ one).
Films only look good at 24fps because they have motion blur. Without motion blur, animation at 24fps looks absolutely horrible.[/quote]

I believe you, but the eye can only see 24 fps. So, if i choose to display 40 - 60 fps, it looks good to player... or am i wrong ? I will not "cap" it at 35 - but i want to implement a function that says: "35 fps - all other resources to the computing behind the scenes. if the computing behind the scenes don't need all of this resources -> display more fps"

I believe you, but the eye can only see 24 fps.
