fieldOfView | SPi-V devhow to delay loading some images until they are needed?
Submitted by JimWatters on November 24, 2007 - 06:07.
I am trying to create a panorama that has many changing. There are over 500 frames that slowing get blended onto the previous. I am not too far into the process yet (Way behind schedule). I have only got three nodes to blend and then repeat. But for each node I added it takes longer to display the first image. Is there a way to only load the images as they are displayed? The entire process of the movie should last about 4.5 minutes.
Currently all images are in spherical format. is there another format that would display faster, load quicker. Is there an internal format that originals are transformed to at the beginning?

Please post a link.
Cubic format is preferred for SPi-V.

I hope you're not loading 500 full 360x180 equirectangular images? If so, that means that they all get loaded into video memory, which... takes a while if it is successful at all.
The functionality to load/unload images on demand is currently not exposed to the xml structure.

But this will be a useful feature in SPi-V.
When we want to show a few synchronized panoramas it takes a long time to load them.
If we can define what panorama should stay not loaded - this could be very useful.
What do you mean not exposed in xml structure?
