Hey there,

using GetVerticesProcessed() on a terrain I always get the maximum number of vertices the complete terrain has. Is there really no culling implemented in AppGameKit?

I don't know what culling happens in AppGameKit but I would argue that culling is a process and should therefore be counted by GetVerticesProcessed().
Maybe you should try GetPolygonsDrawn() instead.

You can enable culling using this command "SetObjectScreenCulling" , but it should be on by default ?

And you should also be able to see it using both GetPolygonsDrawn and GetVerticesProcessed, just tried it and both change values when i move around

I think it will be only culled if it is completely out of sight.

MikeHart: True

Xaron: When you create your terrain using CreateObjectFromHeightMap , make sure to set the "split" parameter to perhaps "4" (sixteen meshes) so the culling is able to work, if you only use one mesh culling will not work
