more Warp3d testing with Microbe 3D

seem to have lots of 3D test threads but not one using Alan's latest Microbe3D so let's start one

get it here

OK thanks

Here it is my own test that I use to benchmark Microbe3D versions on differents hardware or emulators

1) Install Microbe3D
2) Start Demo-View_ppc (It is a 3d object viewer) not demo_view (68k version that works too with petunia)
3) Menu Scene/Read Object
load partygirl/partygirl.obj (NOT partygirl.bon)
Dont move this object (key 'j' can restore default position)
4) Menu Test & Debug/ FPS Limit:OFF
Else the FPS speed is limited aroun 10 fps

You obtain on the first line
current FPS for current frame (example: 19 fps)
average FPS on 50 frames (example: 20 fps)
average Time Per Frame (TPF) as milliseconds (example: 50 ms)

You can also start a full benchmark test :
Menu Test & Debug/ Time Tests
It is veeerrryyy long but very accurate
Touch nothing during tests

@thellier

thanks Alan!

tried the setup above but just getting black screen with alot of fast moving numbers at the top after selecting partygirl.obj. & menus at bottom of screen don't do anything for me?

EDIT:
ok after adjusting my screen mode issue I actually eventually saw the Amiga Party Girl after a quite long black screen & here are the results:

Full Benchmark test (Menu Test& Debug/ Time Tests):

Demo-View: Use Menus or keys. Press space for Editing Object/Instance/Light etc...
Starting benchmark tests, please wait...
Speed Tests:
============================
Test0: 21 ms normal
Test1: 21 ms Blitbitmap*10
Test2: 24 ms ClearDrawregion*10
Test3: 24 ms ClearZbuffer*10
Test4: 87 ms DrawArray*10
Test5: 85 ms W3D_DrawArray*10
Test6: 77 ms LightShader*10
Test7: 77 ms TransformProject*10
Test8: 21 ms No WaitBlit
Test9: 21 ms Use ClearScreenWarp3D
Test10: 24 ms ClearScreenWarp3D*10
Test11: 0 ms

If you are using an R100/200 system, try with and without the z buffer options described here:

http://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/UserDoc:Warp3D#Configuration_5

I have previously observed a noticeable performance improvement for applications that don't need a stencil buffer when using a 16 bit Z buffer

thanks for the info Karlos! will give it a try
