memory management

[michaelgreene]

I've developed a simple scene that is populated by 36 boxes. I want to dynamically add and delete boxes so that I can place an arbitrary number of boxes on the scene depending on keyboard input.

 

Is there a recommended way to delete boxes?  My basic algorithm will be

 

1) if there are any old boxes in the scene, get rid of them.

2) Create a new set of n boxes

3) Repeat based on keyboard commands.

 

Thanks.

Hi !

 

You can delete any mesh by calling the dispose method on a mesh: 

mesh.dispose()

I would also keep one hidden and then clone it to save resources too.

val new_mesh = mesh.clone();
