Multiple Normal Maps are not loading

[Joel]

Hi there,

Because you're saving the entire texture by value, slowdown is expected as you're saving all of the pixel data for that texture. Saving the shared material will make no difference in this situation.

All the best,
Joel

Hi Joel,

thank you very much for your support!

Regarding this issue..
When we do a development build and have Read/Write enabled on the textures (albedo and normal) and try to save a duplicated cube (each with runtime changed color) we are getting this error in the build:

The build completely freezes...
Do you know a way how to solve this issue?

I would very much appreciate if you could point us into the right direction what to do...

Many thanks

[Joel]

Hi there,

The error suggests that your application has exceeded it's allocated memory. Again, this is to be expected if you're trying to store particularly large Textures.

You might also want to consider using ES3.SaveImage and ES3.LoadImage instead, which will save the Textures in compressed format. However, be aware that in some cases the compression process will lead to slower performance.

All the best,
Joel

Hi Joel,

the textures are 2048x2048 jpg´s ...
The performance is pretty much 0 currently as the build get´s frozen and we have to force-quit the build..

So is there an alternative solution which guarantees fast performance?

[Joel]

Hi there,

As mentioned, ES3.SaveImage and ES3.LoadImage would be your only alternatives. If the bottleneck is the quantity of data being saved, this will be faster.

All the best,
Joel
