Let's say i want to draw half-moons instead of (square-) points or lines, i don't understand how to do that!? Also i don't get a clue from the help patch of [gemvertexbuffer]. examples i found somewhere (older mailinglists archiv) also didn't show anything but black. Can anybody help?
THANKS!

@Johnny-Mauser You can draw half-moons with [sphere3D] and [world_light] in GEM..... but you will have shadows from one on the next..........
You can draw weirder stuff with pmpd/examples/42_tentacule.pd
You can draw using teapots....... [teapot-help.pd]

Or you could use data structures if you want to draw with half-moons (by making your own filled polygons........... [drawpolygon-help]......)

Dear David

thanks for the answer! Halfmoons was just an example, apparently it was missunderstandable. With [gemvertexbuffer] it is possible to draw many points quite fast. Somehow i apeares to me (by looking at the help patch of [gemvertexbuffer]) that it is also possible to change these points to textures, but i don't manage to do that.
