I'm currentky working on a patch in which I have 6 large matrixes (10240x3072 pixels)switcheing one after the other (it would be nice to be able to fade from one to the next) where I fly (source dimension of a matrix) over them and only have a 2560x768 end image.

Since I load six diffrent matrixes to fly over this becomes very hard on my computer.

Is there a better way to load vector images out of illustrator,I hav maybe using GL that makes this process faster and thus smoother. so that the framerate doesn't drop under 15 fps?

I have never used ullustrator, but is there a way to convert the

vector images into a format where you can get at the vertices? If so,

I have never used ullustrator, but is there a way to convert the
vector images into a format where you can get at the vertices?  If so,
you can draw them with GL geometry.

I wanted to do this so I saved my illustrator files as SVG's and 

wrote a java program to parse them out and turn the shapes into 3D 

drawing commands. I only did it for rectangles but you could easily 

write something to parse out other shapes.

Do a google search for Batik if you're feeling up to the java coding.

you can import AI files in some 3D softwares such as Lightwave, Blender , Amapi (dont know about Maya) and then export your file as an .obj

vectors/illustrator and jitter
