Blitz3D Surfaces

From what I understand of Blitz3D it's generally a good idea to get the surface count of a scene down. Is this a low-level hardware (i.e 3D accelerator), 3D API, Direct3D API-specific or Blitz3D imposed restriction? Any help and discussion will be greatly appreciated. |

Low-level hardware I believe; although the way "surfaces" work is, I think, a blitz construction. Read more. |

I believe it's to do with modern 3D cards rendering pipelines, whereby meshes are loaded into the pipeline surface by surface, therefore the more surfaces a mesh has the more iterative the rendering pipeline becomes for that mesh. Not sure though ;) |

Cheers guy's that's pretty much cleared that up for me then :) |
