I am just wondering if anybody knows if there is any benefit in using a Poly~ object in combination with OpenGL objects. Below is example code of a test I have have put together.

If there are any benefits would anybody mind explaining to me what these may be so that I may make a more educated decision whether to continue with this or not.

Based on what it looks like you are trying to accomplish, you would be 

better served using either jit.gl.multiple, the jit.iter technique (used 

in many of the Jitter Recipes), or using an Array of gridshapes in 

JavaScript or Lua. For this type of thing, poly~ can be a little bit

cumbersome.

I need to be able to treat each of the objects seperately- i.e different textures (or movie players if I use videoplanes - which I probably will) and the ability to move and resize each plane independantly of the others.

I already have a working system, but I am exploring ways of reducing CPU/GPU requirements - which is what led me to poly~. I understand the implications with audio but am a little less knowledgeable when it comes to visuals - i.e I don't know if using poly's saves anything at all.

I have used javascript to create gridshape objects before but exerienced disappearing objects when alt-Left click was used. I am unaware of the jit.iter technique or Lua so will look int these.
