Away3D Forum Error #3691: Resource limit for this resource type exceeded?

Error #3691: Resource limit for this resource type exceeded? Software: Away3D 4.x

DT, Newbie Posted: 15 July 2013 03:11 PM Total Posts: 4 Hi all, I hope someone can help! I’m new to Away3D so I’m a bit stumped. I’m building a scene for a FPS game, and it’s all loading in fine. When I look at the stats it shows I have a polycount of about 150000 - 200000, which I don’t even know if that’s a lot or not as I’m not from a 3D background. Firstly, would someone be able to let me know if that is a lot, way too much, or acceptable? Also, as soon as I start looking around the scene, I hit the #3691 error, looking at the polycount as it kills the app it’s around the 250000 mark. Would that be right? I ask because I read somewhere that the limit was 500000 and I’m not near half of that? If someone could shed some light on this that would be a great help. It would be good to see where I’m going wrong. Many thanks in advance. DT

Your polygon count is quite high…but from what I have read it’s not the polygon count that’s the bottle neck it’s the number of meshes/textures and the way you use them- you should try reusing(cloning) parts of geometry and textures when ever possible. I’m not an expert on the matter my self… so don’t take this as being 100% right. I’ve ran into a similar error some time ago and it turned out that I wasn’t disposing of some objects correctly and the memory usage for that type of resource kept going up until the error popped up. I would suggest that you first identify the resource that causing the problem and then take it from there.

If you are re-using a material more than once, try using a dictionary to create it once if it doesn’t exist, and re-use if it does. var materialDictionary:Dictionary = new Dictionary; var objTextureMaterial:TextureMaterial; if( materialName in materialDictionary ) objTextureMaterial = materialDictionary[ materialName ]; else { if( materialName in materialDictionary ) objTextureMaterial = materialDictionary[ materialName ]; else { objTextureMaterial = new TextureMaterial( new BitmapTexture( spritesheetObject.bitmap.bitmapData ), true, false, true ); objTextureMaterial.alphaBlending = true; materialDictionary[ materialName ] = objTextureMaterial; } } var sprite:Sprite3D = new Sprite3D( objTextureMaterial, spritesheetObject.bitmap.width, spritesheetObject.bitmap.height ); etc... etc...
