Re: [JAVA3D] Texture loading

I find that if the texture image is smaller it will load faster....reduce
your image and it should
be faster...not sure how else to improve load time...although others may
know.

Subject: [JAVA3D] Texture loading


BlankI have a globe with a texture wrapped around it. While the creation of
the globe, it takes a long time
to load the texture. Is there anyway to speed up the loading of a texture. I
am currently have the code at the bottom of this message..

Thanks for your help.

Code below:
--------------------------------------
 public void buildObject() {
  JFrame frame = new JFrame();

  BaseAppearance sphereAppearance = new BaseAppearance();

  TextureAttributes textureAttributes = new TextureAttributes();
  Material sphereMaterial = new
Material(SceneColors.white,SceneColors.grey,SceneColors.white,SceneColors.wh
ite,20.0f);
  TextureLoader loadedTexture = new TextureLoader(this.textureFilePath,new
String("RGB"),frame);
  Texture sphereTexture = loadedTexture.getTexture();

  sphereAppearance.setCapability(BaseAppearance.ALLOW_TEXTURE_WRITE);
        sphereMaterial.setLightingEnable(true);
        sphereAppearance.setMaterial(sphereMaterial);
        sphereAppearance.setTexture(sphereTexture);
        textureAttributes.setTextureMode(TextureAttributes.MODULATE);
        sphereAppearance.setTextureAttributes(textureAttributes);




  Sphere globe =
   new Sphere(
    this.radiusOfBody,
    Sphere.GENERATE_NORMALS
     | Sphere.GENERATE_TEXTURE_COORDS
     | Sphere.ENABLE_APPEARANCE_MODIFY
     | Sphere.ENABLE_GEOMETRY_PICKING,
    80,
    sphereAppearance);

  globe.setCapability(GeometryArray.ALLOW_TEXCOORD_READ);
        globe.setCapability(GeometryArray.ALLOW_TEXCOORD_WRITE);

        globe.setAppearance(sphereAppearance);

  this.addChild(globe);
 }
