Thread: Height Mapping

I would but I'm on linux and I'm going for cross platform. Right now I'm using opengl and SDL.

I used a display list and got quite a large boost. I also added shading, but I calculated the normals per triangle so it looks very faceted. I'm trying to calculate the normals per vertex, but it's a bit more complicated since there are 6 triangles touching every vertex (except the ones on the edge).

Thanks for all the advice though

Indeed, for those of us that work crossplatform, OpenGL really is the only option. It has the capabilities, although I must admit, extensions can be annoying.
