Holiday Gift - Experimental Worker Animation!

Construct 3 3DObject Plugin
A browser asset pack made in HTML5

Version 2.34.0 includes a new property for 3DObject - worker animation! Now the CPU work for animating complex models can be done on a separate thread/CPU from the main C3 runtime thread, allowing for more complex models to be animated while keeps a nice 60fps.

This is an experimental feature, so please give feedback on how it works in your case.

Current recommendations for animation worker mode:

  • Only enable for 3DObject models which are higher poly count (500+ polygons)
  • Only enable for animated models
  • Use a lower frame rate for the animation (e.g. 30fps, 20 fps)
    • Set animation rate after model is loaded, using the on loaded ACE

In one example on a desktop PC, I can get 2-3X more models animating at 60fps when using worker animation, compared to not using worker animation. 

Happy Holidays!
