graphics library that takes advantage of vu0 + vu1

One of the big things that the vector units are supposed to be good for is constructing packets for the GS, right? My main question is do any of the current graphics libraries take advantage of the vector units? I saw gskit, DreamGL, and libito in the subversion repository. Which do you think would be best for rendering 3d graphics? Or would I be better off learning some vu asm to construct my own GS packets? Thanks.

Several graphics libraries take advantage of vu0 in macromode. I personally prefer libplanar (requires lalib).

If you want maximum performance you'd be best off constructing your own GS packets. To do this you may wish to investigate libgraph, which is a part of ps2sdk.

It really depends on what goal you have in mind.

I really just like to play around with this kinda stuff, its all very interesting. So I think I'll play around a bit. Thanks for your advice.
