Director 3D > Peformance and Optimization

General Performance tips

Much of the optimization is to do with textures – textures are probably the most important aspect to look at when you are looking to increase the speed of your projects – NOTE THAT TEXTURES SHOULD BE A POWER OF 2 (e.g. 512x512,256x256,128x128, etc – the smaller the better….
In addition the renderer, virtual memory, client system specifications, desktop settings, sprite size, geometry, number of models and lighting will all affect performance optimization in any project.
Setting realistic goals on the minimum system requirements for your users and being able to plan your goals are all part of the responsibility.
