The display list thing is news to me. how would/does one use it??

Code:

Shape3D.setTypes(Types.STATIC);

enables display lists.. (for this specific shape3D)

Oh, you're right. There's no note about it in XIN. I will add one.

The display list thing is news to me. how would/does one use it??

Depending on "how dynamic" your Shape3D is you can set the shape's type by invoking the setType() method of the Shape3D instance.

If you know, you won't change anything on the shape's Geometry nor its Appearance you can set the type to STATIC. This will give you the most speedup, but is most expensive in case of any change on this shape (or the change won't even have any effect). If you only know, the Geometry is static, but the Appearance will change, then set the appropriate type, etc.

For any further questions, just ask...

Here is the OpenDocument file for the OBJ tutorial (in case anyone want to modify it for Cal3D)

I also cannot see this export cal3d option.  Which directory exactly to you put it in???

I installed blender 2.4 something, and python 2.4 from www.python.org.  When blender starts it says it finds python.  I copied the script mentioned earlier t a variety of places under the blender install but never see the cal3d export.  I got the script from the referenced location using download...should I have gotten it as text??
