Hi all.
I write a code to make asynchronous loading of images in P3D context (because I will use shaders).
I call the img = null to avoid "out of memory error". but when I do this, the screen is black until the next jpeg has been loaded.
Is this possible to avoid this black screen ?
here's the code: (click in the window to load randomly images from 0 to 10. (I will need a lot of images in the future, that explains why I have to unbind them from ram, 10 is just for the example case)
main tab

1. /*assume that image is like = img0000.jpg, img0001.jpg…
    */
   int counter =0;
   PImage img;
   int  pos=0;
   void setup()
   {
     size(1280 800, P3D);
   }
   
   void draw()
   {
      
       background(0);
   
     println(frameRate);
   
   
     if (img !=null)
       image(img, 0, 0);
   }
   
   void mousePressed()
   {
     counter = int(random(10));
     (new ImageLoaderThread()).start();
   }
