Once in a while, I use a bit of my free time to play with VXLSE III. Recently, I've playing with the render of the program. It was very outdated compared to OS: Voxel Viewer. My test voxel is Kirov Airship, as usual. With its 35k voxels, it makes a good use of your video card.

I've managed to speed it up considerably:

- Kirov on VXLSE III 1.2c: between 11 and 12 fps
- Kirov on OS: Voxel Viewer: between 19 and 20 fps
- Kirov on current VXLSE III alpha: between 59 and 60 fps (which is the maximum limit of my screen on 1152 x 864 resolution)

Is that good enough, dispite the usage adition of 9 mb of RAM during the experience? But don't expect any release anytime soon. I have a lot of things to do on it.

is this renderer using squares or cubes for each voxel?

one cube per voxel.

how is it so fast then? it's because the 3d view window is so small isn't it?

60 FPS for Kirov Airship?

You are God.

Stucuk added an absurd ammount of glRotate and glTranslatef. I've removed all of them. I rotate and translate the whole shape once instead of using it for each block...

great! after this, please integrate it into HVA Builder ASAP.

I've implemented this thing in an alpha OS: Voxel Viewer that I have here. Now Kirov is also at 60 fps on it Smile

.

The rotation and hierarchy matrix of the program is kinda wrong. So, I need to work out a solution for it before releasing anything. OS: HVA Builder uses the same 'Global Units' files from OS: Voxel Viewer, so passing it to the HVA Builder is just a matter of copy and paste a HVA Builder directory to my pen drive.
