quadtree?

Maybe because quad trees are not really used for rendering?


They are used for data partitioning and frustrum culling.

As wreakon stated, use quad trees to partition your terrain. You don''t need a tutorial, just an understanding of how they work, they''re real simple to implement.

But before anything, you should know what they''re used for. Do you plan on doing LOD with them? Do you plan on just doing view/frustrum culling? There are plenty of articles on both, but be sure what you want first.

Well, I don''t think there''s a quadtree tutorial there, but at www.gametutorials.com, there''s a really brilliant octree tutorial.

I''m sure with a little thinking you could extrapolate what you learn in that tutorial to a quadtree method...
