Hey everyone

A long time ago someone posted a DLL somewhere on this forum which allowed you to directly re-render the same object again at a different location. It proved to be more efficient to only have one object rendered multiple times rather than having multiple objects.

Something tells me it was from Ian M, I could be wrong though.

Any help in finding this DLL?

This?

Edit: I just made a test with 250 boxes, I got 6 FPS with and without Kaedroho's hack. Verdict: useless.

Bit harsh

I believe it is a memory optimisation, not speed.

@Matty H
For memory savings it is good, but I believe instancing do the same. DBP is slow at multiple object rendering, we need a speed boost.
