suspense and useTexture

[dottodot]

Just wondering is it normal for the suspense fallback to be triggered every time a texture is loaded using useTexture, once the texture is cached it fine, but otherwise it causes the scene to momentarily disappear and show the loader.

<Suspense fallback={<Loader />}>
     <Scene />
</Suspense>

useTexture is async so it must trigger its next suspense bound, which can wrap the component or higher up parents. once the texture has been loaded, rendering the component again, or using useTexture with the same url in another component must not trigger suspense since the asset has been cached already.

if you just want to let the old screen contents stand while something new is loading look into useTransition which will let you pend, it doesn't run into the fallback: https://twitter.com/0xca0a/status/1494674300103708675
