Re: [PyOpenGL-Users] size limit of vertex array?

Hi, Its me again still playing with vertex array. Using the code showed previously, I have tried to display a plane of 60 rows and 44 columns. With lighting disabled, no material properties defined and no normals provided, the rendering of such plane is performed at 10 FPS. In addition, one of the core of the CPU is used at 100% by python what ever the size of the plane or the number of "objects" rendered. Is it normal that python uses so much CPU? Does 60 * 44 * 4, hence, 10560 vertices such big for an interactive application or should I use other techniques (VBO maybe) to render such amount of vertices or less vertices for such object? (I know that it depends, mainly, on what I want to do with the plane) When using glGetString() to get information on the hardware here are the information I got: NVIDIA Corporation GeForce 8800 GTX/PCI/SSE2 3.2.0 NVIDIA 190.42 So it seems that the program is using the graphics card at some point. The CPU of the machine is an AMD 64 X2 DualCore 5200+.
