Loading textures delays animations

[FlashyGoblin]

Has anyone had any problems with scene animations running while loading textures? I have a .babylon scene loading. Then when the scene is ready, I start an animation, while loading some additional textures. (The reason is that I want the scene to load with low res textures for faster start up, and then load higher res textures later.)

It seems that whenever a texture is loading, it delays any animations from running (like the camera transitions) until the textures are finished loading. Even when an animation is started before the load, it will wait till all loading is finished, and then does the animation. This becomes a problem when we want to initially show the scene animate things while the high res textures are loading.

Hey

this is because of this line:

The animation engine will not start until everything is ready. Just set scene._pendingData = [] should fix your issue

Thanks David! However that doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm animating the camera when the scene is ready via an animation. I start the animation right away, and then I start loading new textures. Only after the textures are finished loading does the camera animation start.

Doh, it DOES work!! I was putting it in the wrong place. I had to add that line directly after each of my new BABYLON.Texture() calls, and not once after my for loop of them.

Thanks @Deltakosh!!!

My pleasure!
