[jitter] Re: Re: Obj files in displaylist?

Hi Wes, thank you very much for your tips!
I tried your PlaydoughMesh patch (for other readers, the link is: http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/~whsmith/PlaydoughMesh.zip )

It works properly, and I can control each object separately.
However, the problem you explained about importing in Jitter bone indices, bone modelview matrices and weights seems to be no easy to solve soon, and I have to complete my works in a couple of weeks (sorry!! :)

So, I was thinking about something else: if I have to represent 100 identical 3Dmodels, if I load only one obj file and then, in the cycle, I update one model at time reading informations from the same array?
I mean, is it possible to draw "manually" a 3Dmodel, instead of linking it to a jit.gl.model ?
Something like "gl.Begin - gl.Vertex - gl.End" ?
