I didnt get what do you compare with, but my opinion is that exporting mesh and vertex animation from start is much faster than animating bones skin inside Away. Keep in mind that vertex animation is being performed by CPU not GPU. Thats why performing complex transformations with more than 1000 vertex will cause drastic slowdown.
Correct me if GPU can perform such vertex on bones animation. On Feb 22, 8:19 pm, Márton Czebe <[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks for your inputs guys!
