Binary Space Partitioning. Is a file format for drawing optimized 3D scenerary used by games like HalfLife, Quake etc. The general idea is that it has precalculated information for drawing scenes based on the position of the viewer or camera, so that only the polygons of visible geometry from the camera position are drawn.

Check out the "The ultimate BSP thread" under 3-Dimension Chat forum. (Take note of the first posting). Got links etc for tools recommended for BSP creation
