Time between texture load and rendering
Hello, I have a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) formed by several grounds (tiles). For each tile I want to move from wireframe to texture instantly so I wrote this (it works but the transition is not direct) material.diffuseTexture = tex; material.wireframe = false; I saw it was not so easy, then I copy the createTexture function of engine in my Utils and put my "material.wireframe = false;" in the onload of image, like that: RANDO.Utils.createTexture = function (engine, material, url,
The time you have noticed is due to compilation time of the shader. As soon as you add a texture the shader must be recompiled to take this information in account. The best idea here should be to have a white texture always attached to your object even when in wireframe mode so that the switch to real texture won't trigger a compilation
