Andy and Graham have both offered valuable advice on database design
and modelling issues. I agree with both of them, but wanted to point
out a new InfiniteReality feature that helps with a point Andy makes
below...

:Depth Complexity: This is the hardest thing to accomplish and
:control on SGI's machines.

I don't know if everyone realizes that the new Onyx/InfiniteReality
system (and the Performer support for it) provides a mechanism to
control the run-time variations in depth complexity. This has been
a hard problem to manage in the past and should be much easier in
the future -- in fact, the Performer load-management system on the
InfiniteReality machines will control both geometric and pixel-fill
load management automatically.

It's described somewhat in the WEB page, but if you missed it, you
should know that a new answer to this age-old problem has arrived!
