When I create a display list, is the display list "fixed"? In more detail, can I translate, rotate, etc verticies within the display lists or should display lists only be used for static/non-changing models?

only the way the object is built is fixed. But you can still apply rotation and translation matrices. If you wanted to changed the locaiton of a vertex in the objects local cordinate system, you would need to destroy the list, edit the vertex info, then create a new list.

Thanks. That will help me when I write my model loader. Boned objects will be displayed different than non-boned objects internally.
