Loading objects faster

[kovitch]

Hello,

I'm using the following code to load some objects:

for i in range(0,tables_number):
tables.append(viz.add('src/obj/table.flt'))

However, it takes too long to load 50 tables (about 30 seconds).

Is there any trick to accomplish this task faster?

Regards.

You could add the table once and then make copies or clones of it. Check out the section on Duplicating, Copying, and Cloning on the following page:

Ideally, you should bring the object into 3ds Max, and re-export as an .IVE (OpenSceneGraph), Vizard's native format.

If your script does not require a unique instance for each table, then you can clone all the tables.for i in range(tables_number):
tables.append(viz.add('src/obj/table.flt',cache=viz.CACHE_CLONE))
