Background Info: Ok so I have a project that uses papervision3D. I'm new to papervsion so please bear with me: I have a background movie which is animated and laid over the top is are my 3D objects - there are 26 single sided planes and 26 double sided planes that all use MovieMaterials. These are either animated on a click from a start position or already set to a final position. The animation of these planes is on the Z-axis. They are designed to be doors that open if that helps you grasp what I am doing. Ok so on the click, the background is snapshot and added to the clip that is used as the movie material to capture the current state of the background animation. WIth me so far - I hope you are.
Problem: So when I run this everything does what it's supposed to - so what prey tell me you say is the problem. Well although everything runs as it should it runs incredibly slowly and seems to eat up CPU processing power. So my background animation (which are just traditional tweens) no longer look smooth as they are running slower than intended. It seems to be from experimentation that the more planes I put on screen the slower it gets, I know that this is true due to how it builds stuff via triangles but the triangle count is well below the recommended max of 2000. Help required: Any tips/tricks/recommendations or info on known problems that could help me reduce the lag of everything and the CPU usage used by this project would help as it is only aggravated by people having other projects open at the same time causing every last thing to run slow. If more detailed information is required please don't hesitate to ask, I'll provide what I can but obviously can only provide so much for security reasons. Thanks in advance Ele _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
