I am using c# to change the image in a material’s texture. I do this for a number of materials. The issue I am having is that the updates visually happen sequentially. Is there a way to have them update and then get drawn to the screen at once? The way I currently do it is fine with the development Xpression version but when we run in production, we can see each update sequentially.
thanks in advance.
It shouldn’t really do that someone like @Garner Millward might be able to speak to that.
What you could do depending on number you are dealing with is have a hidden object for each that you right to from C# and then trigger a scene director with a script on it the does the copy within XPression which should do it all in one go. You shouldn’t need to do this but it might be a solution if no one else has a better idea.
Hello, thanks for your response. I don’t understand what you are saying but I partially solved the problem. We have a system where we change the assets at any point while the graphic is online. I had always been told to have that happen as soon as we get the signal to update. This would happen separately from the rendering. If I switch to have it happen when it renders, it works. However, then there is a huge delay before the assets update. They do appear all at once but it is seconds. I would understand if it was a frame or maybe two (it was happening immediately but not all at once). Unfortunately, these are show stoppers. I’m a big fan of Xpression and how we can use it but this might be the last straw for my company. thanks for your help.
I think I’d need one of the dev’s to have input on this conversation because I haven’t done much with C# and XPression personally.
