    planet quality

    Petr, I noticed the quality of the sphere for the planet has really diminished. I was wondering why you lowered it?
    You can see the poly shape and it doesn't have that smooth sphere look it used to have. To me it is very noticeable
    and it doesn't look good. Was there a speed issue or some reason for the change? Thanks.

    Hi kryton,

    you scared me !

    Could you please post screenshot ?
    I did not changed sphere code for long time.
    Does it look too "square" or the smoothing is bad ?


    Bye,
    Petr

    I am stupid,

    of course - my "code clarification" made planet list to be build BEFORE specifying tbgl primitives quality :
    To fix it just put Graphics_Init() on line before Build_DisplayLists().


    I am sorry,
    Petr

    No worries I was just wondering if it was a speed boost type deal, glad we are back to nice smooth spheres!!!
