How to pre-load (lots of) textures in a backgroud thread smoothly

because we are constantly streaming in new geometry. For now, we limit the number of textures that can be processed a frame and give a breather after each one, that helps performance a lot. I have put the glb download into a worker and transferring the array buffer over which helps but not much.

How did you managed to do that? I tried by moving

BABYLON.Tools.LoadFile(textureFile, function () {});

into a worker and it gets downloaded but it doesn’t speedup the loading time placing a loadcubetexture there do not help since I cannot send scene as reference to place the texture in that reference, and probably making a secondary copy do not help with loading times neither.

Thank you for your time, I’ll owe you a beer for each useful tip!
