Post by: Jim on December 01, 2006: Apologies for the previous re-tread, here's something new. Please be patient while it generates the more highly subdivided sponges.

Post by: Jim on December 01, 2006: Are you extracting the zip file? It needs to have the arial.bmp and arial.bin files in the same folder. It won't run from the zip.

Yeah, everything is there. I had the same problems with your other exes too. I seem to be the only one with the problem though, so I wouldn't worry about it. Just something funky with my machine.

Tee hee! - it *is* generated, offline, and the bin file lets me use the bmp as a proportional as well as a fixed width font. It's only for debug info, which I'm not using anyway, but I really haven't had the time to rip it out of the rest of the framework (my WIP + pumpkin demo) so the external files have to stay :D If you want to see the font try pressing H for Hud or F for Fps. You can move the object around with the arrows, shift, mouse, ctrl etc.

Now a *fractal font* that would be something :D

Great minds think alike. :cheers:

Post by: Jim on December 06, 2006: There are 20 cube models at level 1, then each of those is divided into 20 for level 2 (400) then each of those is divided into 20 at level 3 (8000) and then each of those into 20 at level 4 (160000). That's a lot of RAM :-) I think I stop at 3, which is 8000x24 vertices = 192,000 vertices and 48,000 faces. At level 4 that would be 3.84million vertices and just under a million faces.
Press H to bring up the hud and it'll let you know.
