Note that you'll need to check some settings on the material to read the primitive data properly; the material determines which vertex attributes are present. The material also determines whether the surface is using lightmaps; if it is, then the first UV coordinate will be read out of the short UV array instead of the float one. | Note that you'll need to check some settings on the material to read the primitive data properly; the material determines which vertex attributes are present.

There is no primitive count value; you'll need to continue reading data until you hit the end of the display list.

There are 7 primitive types supported by GX, indicated in the upper 5 bits of the flag value. Note that the game only ever actually uses triangles, triangle strips, and triangle fans; however, all of these primitives are supported by GX and are therefore supported by the game, and so they could be used in custom model files. | There are 7 primitive types supported by GX, indicated in the upper 5 bits of the flag value.
