right now, it essentially relies on OpenGL doing the right thing :)
lets say I am rendering 24 billboards with a different image in each
one (but unchanging). That seems to be using quite a lot of texture
ram and slowing my patch down. if I render that layout inside
a "render in image" will it cache it as just one texture and free up
the rest of the texture mem until I change one of the images?
yes, that should help, as OpenGL will page out from VRAM the 24
textures if they're not used and some other textures are needed
second I'm trying to make structures to reduce spaghetti connecting
things. I can only make a structure of booleans or strings using
javascript at the moment is that correct?
boolean, numbers, strings and arrays
any way to build a structure of images at moment? javascripts can't
take an image input so I think not.
Only programmatically, by passing a NSArray of CVImageBuffer for
instance
