1. Re: How to do cheap rendering while user modifies parameters?
shachar carmi Apr 20, 2010 3:46 PM (in response to evertonlandBis)i looked and looked and couldn't find a way to toggle the 'Live Update' comp switch at will.
that would have been awesome.
the only addition to the solution you have already devised would be to use PF_OutFlag_FORCE_RERENDER,
to could help you solve the "left blank until updated" problem you're having.
OH!
i have another solution but it's kind of sneaky...
during interactions you could render nothing and report PF_Interrupt_CANCEL.
that would tell AE not to use you're plug-ins output, and hopefully (i never tried this), will invalidate the update of the whole frame.
hhhmmm....
that's crazy enough to work.
you could play nicer and just use PF_ABORT and PF_PROGRESS.
if you check them frequently enough, then maybe AE will tell you the user is still changing the param before the experience gets sluggish.
yup.
i'm pretty happy with that last one.
hopefully AE will give you hints about the user still making changes.
i never tried that, so please post back your findings, as i might implement that s well. (sorry for using you as a guinea pig...)

evertonlandBis Apr 21, 2010 2:32 AM (in response to shachar carmi)Hey, I'll gladly be your guinea pig for this kind of thing if you take the time to give me such suggestions
I'll have to get back to you in a couple of days, since right now I'm trying to solve a functionality problem with the plugin which has higher priority, but I'll definitely let you know how your idea goes.
Thanks a lot for your time.
