(a) When I compile tutorial 1, which just consists of a box, the stats display tells me i have 472 triangles and 944 vertices. Is this because the text is drawn using triangles?
(b) The tutorial says it will display a box. Yet I only see a square. I thought maybe this was because of my viewpoint so I turned on wireframe rendering… and it’s definitely a square, IE just two triangles. None of the other sides are visible. Looking at the source, all six sides are defined, but only one side is being displayed. I have not modified the tutorial in any way, it’s a straight copy of “Hello simpleapplication”.
Anyone else encountered this?
a) is explained in the tutorial itself :roll:
b) the tutorial also tells you to use the keys to move to see the box…
conclusion: doing a tutorial is not just copy-pasting it to your IDE and wondering what happens.
Sorry first problem solved … yes the text counts as triangles …
So why is the box only a square?
I moved the keys, still couldn’t see the box, only a square …
The box is hidden behind the square xD
ok I used rotate and the other sides are showing … never mind …
thanks …
