Source and binaries (for now). Though I've commented it like a mad man to be understandable.

Sorry about the demo using sofware.  My computer at the province can't run 3d accelerated stuff. :*)  I'll make a GL version of the quadtree later tonight.

Hey guys, are there stuff in the code that would be incompatible with future FB versions?

A lot of reading material there Rel Nicely done too from the looks of it as usual! Thanks for posting.

Nice work!  They're not just useful for rendering, they're useful when you want to carry out any localised work on a large object - it means you are easily able to find the set of polygons (or anything else) neighbouring any position without scanning everything.

Thanks guys!  It's also possible to use this for ver fast collision detection, fast triangle sorting and heirarchal z-buffers in software.
