The Forge now allows to asynchronously load resources on all platforms. There are two ways to do this:
- use addResource/updateResource with boolean parameter called batch set to true, and later wait for completion with waitBatchCompleted (used in 01_Transformations, 03_MultiThread, 06_MaterialPlayground, 09_LightShadowPlayground, 09a_HybridRaytracing, 12_RendererRumtimeSwitch, 15_Transparency)
- use addResource with SyncToken parameter and check for completion with isTokenCompleted or wait for completion with waitTokenCompleted (used in 10_PixelProjectedReflections)
addResource/updateResource with boolean parameter set to false are the old blocking versions.
Let us know what you think of this system. - We integrated zeux's Micro Profiler into The Forge. So far it supports DirectX 11, 12 and Vulkan. We are still working on Metal and Android support.
