Hi, When rendering a terrain from quads, do you draw quads from all columns then next row or vice versa ? 12 || || || || i.e. draw all column 1, then move to column 2 ? Thanks, Steve

If you are using DrawIndexedPrimitive, then it doesn''t really matter, except that front-to-back is faster with a Z-buffer.

If you are using DrawPrimitive, then you should be using strips or fans, and then the answer depends on how you generate the strips or fans.
