<Vertices with Component Indices> and <Hierarchical Tables>

• Instead of using a <Vertex> that has one or more of the following components:

  • <Color>
  • <Location>
  • <Reference Vector>
  • <Property Table Reference>
  • <Texture Coordinate>

• A <Vertex with Component Indices> can be used. This class has five fields that serve as indices into a <Color Table>, a <Location Table>, a <Reference Vector Table>, …

• Using indices into tables can be “cheaper” than using directly attached components.
