Ventuz Forum

Hi! Is there a size limit for V5 Presenter? And if so, can i load mesh sequence from file dynamicly?

Hi and welcome to the forums,

what do you mean by "a limit for the V5 Runtime" ? A limit for a mesh sequence? Yes, your RAM
Per default, a mesh loader loads the mesh sequence into the GPU Memory. You can set a bool in the Meshloader Node to load the sequence into the CPU (Ram), therefore your got your 8,16,32,..128GB Ram available for your mesh sequence.

Basically you COULD load a mesh into the mesh loader dynamically, but i would strongly NOT SUGGEST this! Your Presentation will stall 100%!!!!
I tried it even with basic geometries and your scene will definitely stall!

Hope this helps a bit....

Thank you! But i mean size on a disk. Mesh sequences requires a lot of space, and as a result my presenter will be very heavy (aproximately above 10 Gb).

VPRs can be big files since V5. However I'd always externalize large files. Otherwise a simple change to the scene will result in exporting and copying a large file. So yes, you can externalize the mesh. Once imported it should be a .vzm file. In your scene you don't enter the name directly but use a URL node instead. Set it to FILE scheme and put in the relative path (for instance .\Geometies\my.vzm). Use the file location for your mesh node. See attached image.

Note: yes, your scene will stall when loading a mesh dynamically. But as I understand you don't want to change the mesh but only have it as an external file.

Note: relative path means relative to the project file or the VPR. So in designer having the path .\Geometries\my.vzm will work. Once you create a VPR you need to put a directory next to the VPR that is called Geometries and includes the test.vzm. You could also use an absolute path.
