Post: Re: Regarding rendering of parts

Ah sorry. I meant I have no fps issues (albeit I'm capped at 15 fps I believe). It's something I'm designing myself, but it's via OpenGL.

So I know precious little about WebGL, but does it give you the option to do vertex buffers? That model renders just fine even on my iPhone, so it seems the bottleneck is likely more in the preproces...
