Hello, In Phaser (the 2D engine), there is a clear separation between the time at which you load your assets and the time at which you use your asset in the game. Basically, you first load your assets in an asset manager, giving names to your assets, and then you access your assets during the game…

Here’s a PG example posted by David Rousset which uses the asset manager to load audio and the play back on command. https://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#PCY1J#8 Galen

Perhaps this PG might be adaptable to your needs Babylon.js Playground it is from http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/32480-loading-asynchronous-objects-into-array-for-later-use/?do=findComment&comment=187590

Yes I know these PG in fact :smiley: ! The one that @JohnK posted is the most relevant, but still, it is a shame that we need to create that “library” ourself while the scene already allows to store and access by names some of the assets (sounds, meshes, materials, etc).

They are not in the scene because they are not scene objects (we can definitely add it for textures if you think it is valuable)

Would be nice to be able to access by name everything that we loaded with the AssetManager after the loading is finished. Either from the scene itself or from the asset manager. Like: let mesh = assetManager.add("mesh1", scene) Or: let levelProgression = assetManager.getTextFile("levelProgressio…

Here is a somewhat messy SoundAtlas and SoundPool. https://gist.github.com/timetocode/c07193efa0628c9d25298631568ff16d SoundAtlas.js let basePath = 'http://localhost:8086' if (typeof window === 'undefined') { basePath = 'http://localhost:8086/' } if (process && process.env && process.e…

sounds to me that the AssetManager is an asset loader and what @timetocode described is an asset manager for the sounds :slight_smile: Would be nice to have such a manager dealing with all the assets that can be loaded by the AssetManager. As the name AssetManager is already taken, that object coul…

I also have a similar thing for meshes which ends up looking like const createPowerUp = (x, y, z) => { const powerUp = MeshAtlas.get('/1.0.0/powerUp.obj').createInstance() //... position it } Which I just mention b/c by the time there’s some sort of manager object spawning in objects (as o…

I started to program an AssetManager, and midway, I’ve found this code from the old forum: let assetsManager = new BABYLON.AssetsManager(this._scene); let assetsToLoad = [ { name: "bgnd_color", filename: "bgnd_color.png" }, { name: "color_picker", filename: "color_picker.png" }, …

Good practice to load and access an asset (e.g. sound) from code?

Like the idea! Do you mind creating an issue for it on the repo?

Multithreading eventually possible!
