Performer:
Can someone direct me to some information regarding
downloading terrain textures during run-time without taking a
performance hit. I hear that it is possible;however, everything I've read
seems to indicate that all the textures should be downloaded on
initialization.
We have a large area terrain for which it is impracticle to load the
entire database at once. I would like to dynamically load different
pieces at I fly though the database but I cannot afford to take a hit
everytime I download a new texture.
As far a the machine goes, I have an IR with 4xR10000's, 2 RM6
boards with 16M of texture memory. Your help is greatly appreciated.
