Hi All,
I am running an experiment currently that involves loading a number of photographic stimuli into Vizard. I have created a city scene myself by scaling different photographs and also created multiple vehicles within the scene through scaling different photographs.
My question is - the first trial always takes a little longer to load and seems to only be a very brief presentation.
Is there a way to load the city in that will not take up so much memory? Below is how I set up the city (I'm sure there is a more efficient coding method).
Best wishes
