gluSphere() question

[cg-hci_novice]

Hi,

Could anyone give an example or explain why you would want to create two spheres in the same app with diff numbers of slices/stacks for each case?

Thanks very much.

Found out it is because one sphere may be larger than another.

Hi !

That's one reason, another is that a sphere might be far away from the viewer all the time, then it might be worthless to have lots of triangles in the sphere.

Thanks for the info.
