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

I haven't been following this thread closely, so apologies if someone  
has covered this already. But, perchance, are you looking for  
something like this?
With this patch you should only need one gl.model instance for each  
model...
For reference: there are several example files that show this technique:
examples->jitter-examples->render:
jit.gl.videoplane-multi.pat (this patch is based on this one)
jit.gl.texture.multi.pat
jit.gl.render.multitetra.pat
jit.gl.render.multi-iter.pat
Hope this is what you're looking for.
