Benchmarks :

• megacube :
  • a high number of shaded cubes arranged in a cubic array
  • allows benchmarking raw geometrical and T&L power (no texturing here)
• megaglasscube :
  • a high number of shaded transparent cubes arranged in a cubic array
  • same use as megacube but with emphasis on transparency and depth sorting
• volcano :
  • volcano-like particle systems using ParticleFX
  • benchmarking of PFX and depth sorting (PFX is a scene-wide blended particles system)
• smoking :
  • several heavily smoking fire PFXs
  • benchmarking of PFX sprites, depth sorting and intertwined additive/transparently blended PFXs
• whirlwind :
  • a whirlwind-shaped particle systems (via TGLParticles, looks ugly)
  • allows benchmarking particle systems and GLScene object management (not even shading is used here)
• canvas :
  • drawing 2D with TGLCanvas in a scene viewer
  • allows benchmarking TGLCanvas performance vs GDI (hardware-acceleration on both sides if available)
