Update of /cvsroot/crystal/CS/plugins/mesh/metaball/object
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv16578/plugins/mesh/metaball/object

Modified Files:
	meta.cpp meta.h 
Log Message:
- Added iPolygonBuffer. This represents an object that holds the
  most efficient way to represent a set of polygons for a given
  3D renderer. For a software renderer the polygons can just be
  stored as such. For a hardware renderer it may be more efficient
  to store the polygons as a triangle mesh or a vertex fan/strip.
  The vertex buffer manager also serves as the class that implements
  polygon buffers. Polygon buffers are supposed to work together
  with vertex buffers as the polygons are given as indices in such
  a buffer. Implemented a primitive polygon buffer support for all
  renderers.
  Currently polygon buffers are not used. In the near future
  DrawPolygonMesh will use them.
- Changed the way that vertex buffers work. In addition to the vertex
  information that was already present there is now also texel (texture
  mapping) and color information. This means the 3D renderer will also
  be able to optimize for those. This also means that the vertex_colors
  and texels arrays are gone from G3DTriangleMesh.
