   Strangely enough I have never done the following.  I need to convert a TriangleArray to a TriangleStripArray.  How does one do this type of thing???

You need to calculate the new vertices. Check how the real positions are, but let's assume, it is the following:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14

TiangleArray:          TiangleStripArray: 3        4             4        3 +--------+             +--------+ |\       |             |\       | | \      |             | \      | |  \     |             |  \     | |   \    |             |   \    | |    \   |             |    \   | |     \  |             |     \  | |      \ |             |      \ | |       \|             |       \| +--------+             +--------+ 1        2             1        2

Just calculate the right vertices for the other format and it should be done.

Hmm Qudus you suggest a way to convert TriangleArrayStrip to TriangleArray, but hawkwind wants to do the other way round.
Have a look at nvidia stripifier. Don't know how it really works, but maybe *you*'re the one which makes it widely used, who know ?

Please keep us informed of magnificent performance boosts ! ^^

This can certainly be . I didn't really remember how these ones were built. But the priciple should be just the same.
