Subject: some questions about Performer
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2002 19:03:58 -0500
Hi all,
I'm just starting to use Performer and I had a few questions I was =
hoping someone could answer for me.
1. Is the Performer 2.5 manual out anywhere? All I can find on the SGI =
site is the 2.4 manual. I realize that not a whole lot has changed, but =
I'd like to see what is new (and how to use it).
2. How does Performer keep the scene graph in memory? What I mean is, =
does it keep all the information in memory, or do parts of it get =
swapped in and out depending upon your current location? The reason I'm =
asking is that I'm using the Linux version and I have several large =
models which end up taking up more memory than I have available. If =
there was some way to swap them in and out, it would probably fix the =
problem.
3. Finally, in regards to IBRNodes - is there some function or utility =
to take the snapshots of a 3d model to be used with an IBRNode, or is it =
the programmer's responsibility to do that?
Many thanks,
John
