---------
I got an array of points (assume 100,000 points)
I can draw them with pBuffer->DrawSubBuffer or DrawPointArray...

can I draw an object (like sphere or cube (for simplicity)) instead of the points?(like cloning it with mograph but this may be slow ...)

suggest fastest way if possible

Yes, you can try to draw an object with BaseDraw::DrawPolygonObject() or BaseDraw::DrawObject().

well thanks yannick

what I have found from (c4d-jack) and tested (but didn't look correct due to transformation matrix)

_<_t_<__<_t_>_11	`  ``BaseObject* the_obj = the_tag->GetObject();_

12	``if (!the_obj) ``return TRUE;

13

14	``the_obj = the_obj->GetDown();

15

16	``Vector    pos;

17

18	``bd->SetMatrix_Screen();

19

20	``while (the_obj)

21	``{

22	``pos = the_obj->GetMg().off;

23	``pos = bd->WS(pos);

24	``bd->DrawCircle2D(LCO pos.x, LCO pos.y, RCO 20.0);

25

26	``the_obj = the_obj->GetNext();

27	``}

28

29	``bd->SetMatrix_Matrix(NULL, Matrix(), 0);

what i did (I got an array of points)

Vector pos;
bd->SetMatrix_Screen();

for (l = 0; l < lPoints; l++)
{
pos = MyPointVector[ l ];
pos = bd->WS(pos);
bd->DrawCircle2D(LCO pos.x, LCO pos.y, RCO 2.0);
}
bd->SetMatrix_Matrix(NULL, Matrix(), 0);
