I didn't mean that to sound like a put-down, Sandy. Sorry if it did, it was
just an observation meant to point out the difference between OM and command
scripting when dealing with large numbers of objects.
I did some comparison timings:
I removed the section from your script that copied the child nodes over, for
a fair comparison with mine which doesn't do that, and timed it:
2:26 for 1024 models on a Pentium M 1.7
My script:
1:15.
However, you script creates the nulls in the scene root, mine doesn't, so I
timed how long it took to d&d the nulls back into the parent the models came
from. That took 2:00. So, I figure your script, in real worls terms, took
4:26 against the 1:15 of mine.
I figure I could reduce the time of my script to between 50% and 60% of it's
current time if I could figure out an OM method for deleting.
Bernard, I couldn't find your script on your website. If you give me a
pointer I'll do a comparison timing on that too.
