FillDynamicBuffer Error

[beyonder]

From Debug:

ACTOR MANAGER : FillDynamicBuffer : the actor has too many polys/vertices to use MorphTargets. Please reduce the number of vertices.

I have the actor animating and morphing perfectly. However she is lo-poly (15,000 verts) and you can definately tell. The higher-poly version (30,000 verts) she is so beautiful.

So when I try to morph he higher-poly version I get that error.

Please Mr. Sylvain, can you advise?

The error does not seem to relate to the number of verts. I morphed a 40,000 sphere just fine. Its somehow a combination between the number of vers and the number of bones.

Would really like to work with you on this one... its very important we get this fixed (yes, I got my first employees  ) please.

Thank you in advance!

Yes this is fixable. I could for exemple reallocate a bigger buffer if it's not big enough.
This dynamic buffer is shared by the different CPU actor & Morphed actor, and it's just used to send dynamic data to the 3D card. However it takes Video RAM, so I didn't want to make it big enough.

Could there be a way (maybe an undocumented function) to set the buffer ourselves? Our market is definately geared toward higher end cards anyway. We just want something that will look spectacular.

Any fyi, I think the buffer is just on the threshhold of our model anyway.

Thanks for responding.

Any thoughts on how or when we can see a fix for this? Kinda need to get going...
