Just trying some high poly meshes.

In Maya it says I have 17,662 triangulated faces.
So thats 52,986 vertices 158,958 numbers (vertices components).

trace(e.asset.name +”\t”+Mesh(e.asset).geometry.subGeometries[0].vertexData.length);
//polySurface45172 158,958

This mesh shows up fine with no errors.

Merge class uses a max of 64998.

So what the limit?

You can find information about this sort of limitations in Adobe’s Actionscript Reference, in Context3D.as: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/beta/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display3D/Context3D.html#createVertexBuffer()

On such docs, it says that the maximum is 65535 vertices per vertex buffer.

Thanks.

In that case I think the merge class is a bit off.

In Merge.as
private const LIMIT:uint = 64998;

multiply that by 3 and merge still works and you get less subgeometries.

Indeed now we should safely push bit more data in there (65535 minus loops requirements) and generate less subgeometries. I’ll update the class (and few others using similar limit values) asap after a few stress tests.

In meanwhile you can of course change the value and see for yourself. The class should behave just fine.

UPDATE: just updated the Merge class, we can now push 196605 Numbers entries. Excellent news

Whoa! Thanks Fab and John. Certainly an improvement.

hi

i was just looking through the obj and 3ds parsers and checked that there is the same private const LIMIT:uint = 64998;

maybe that could be higher too?
