Ok, ill keep doing what I have been doing, except maybe use loadMatrix() instead of push and pop, as I have found it greatly improves perforamnce when accessing OpenGL via Java.

are depricated.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good tutorial to explain an alternative to storing the current matrix in an effective...

I find a really good methods for this is using decimate in Blender, but you will loose all your UV co-ordinates, when a model is so low poly, its not hard to wrap the UV's projecting from view.
