[Opensim-users] Synchronous or Asynchronous? osSetDynamicTextureURLBlendFace

[Toni Alatalo]

Yes I think so.

Asynchronous functions return immediately but then the actual result
happens later. Textures can not appear instantly, at least if you make a
net download.

Iirc opensim dynamic url textures are loaded from the web, which takes
time, to the server. Then they are processed there for display in the
viewer eventually. Or maybe viewer downloads, I forgot apparently. Anyway
there has to be that sort of delay. Am not sure what the doc refers to.
