    in our scene, textures amount quite amount of the loaded files. ideally, we would like to make the application usable before loading all textures.

    is it possible to:
    A) enter the scene before all textures are loaded, and use a blank color instead (in best case: average texture color)

    B) automatically preload lower resolution textures, then start the viewer, then load the full resolution textures

    C) compress the textures

    would be an interesting feature imo

    Hi,

    That’s a great idea indeed!

    For now, you can use the optimization techniques mentioned in this tutorial (compressing to jpeg, removing unused alpha, packing into RGBA channels).

    Also you can use the replace texture puzzle to load only the textures that are needed right away, and load the rest of textures later.

    Finally, you can use the same puzzle to load low-res images first (images can be really small) and then replace them with high-res equivalents.
