Hi there ,
I just want to do an animated Texture.

For this I add an AnimatorSimple and bind it to an material TextureX/TextureY/ or TextureScale.
This works, but it seems there is a hefty performance penalty doing so..(may be only on my card, it not a performance-tiger)?

But what I like and what not works is to bind an AnimatorSimple onto a BitmapZoomRotate.
So I can scroll / scale a texture, but cannot rotate it.
Or did I miss something?

Anyway a great tool..
I like especially the XML-Project files, as it is very easy to use versioning tools like subversion!

Great work,
Peter

Hi Peter and welcome to this forum!

You are doing the right thing, the problem is that you have the SpawnModel in your App.OnRender. Which means that a new model will be instantiated every frame, so performance goes down because it is drawing several hundered textured cubes every second

So if you move the SpawnModel to App.OnLoaded it will work as expected.

Material.Scale/TextureX/Y all change the texturematrix and is very fast. BitmapZoomRotate will recreate the texture so it is slow.

Btw I'm glad you like the XML-files, I use subversion myself and think that text-files are the best way to store many kinds of data so you can use diff-tools.
