Hi again,

I've done some more coding and managed in doing back-face culling. For those who do not knwo what that is: this makes blender not display the faces/lines on the backside in wireframe mode.

see:

for examples.

Cool, so this means in theory that, if it would be implemented correctly, that rendering time could be increased with 50% generally?....More than a neatly modelling feature that is

Hello!

That is a great improvement!
Blender is definitly going the right way!

Dani

great work tinus!!! That help A LOT at modelling!!

That's wonderful, but on the screenshots what are the unattached vertices?

Are they not culled because this currently only culls faces?

Just bit wierd to see these floating vetices but a LOT better than having the edges connecting them making editing confusing.

Thanks a lot!

It would be less than 50% speed up, because even though a light is out of view it will still need to be there to light stuff.

Also particles may need to be rendered even though they are out of sight.

But yes, there would of be a speed increase, especially on scenes that use nurbs (less circular calculations)

Yeah I know, it's like selective raytracing when you need to have a mirror to reflect a room.

What about those floating vertices?

Any word yet?

great tinus !

but it looks as the vertices is still visible in the background.... ?




next shot, make it an perspective

otherwise, cool that you show off some examples for us...
