RE: Croquet speed

How do you subdivide the triangle spinner?

I see that it has a Sierpinski object in its hierarchy, but don't see how to
subdivide.


Thanks,

It's in the red halo menu.

And, of course, FRAPS is the canonical tool for this (www.fraps.com).

Celeron 400 MHz, GeForce 2 MX: about 4 to 11 fps in the main world,
depending on how many objects are in view. The actual number of polygons
does not matter - even subdividing the pyramid to level 6 does not change
the numbers at all.
