I was just wondering why do we exactly call glTranste command if its possible just to increase objects x, y or z. And its even stated in this tutorial: http://nehe.gamedev.net/tutorial/particle_engine_using_triangle_strips/21001/ that its even faster to only use Vertex3f() instead of resetting the Modelview Matrix. Anyways, maybe its just something particular …

So the function: [CODE]glLoadIdentity();[/CODE] resets the matrix, so for instance we do this: [CODE]glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION); glLoadIdentity();[/CODE] how exactly does this work, it seems that we set the matrix and then just return it to the way it used to be.

I recently looked at [URL="http://www.songho.ca/opengl/gl_vbo.html"]this[/URL] description of VBOs and a sample implementation of them. When I ran the executable, it was significantly faster with no VBOs than with them. I don't understand why it should be slower with the VBOs than without. Can anybody explain why?
