Hi Robert,
I encounter a similar latency problem when I try to update a uniform using
camera's view matrix in the uniform's callback. Since this uniform is needed
to compute only once per frame, I decide to compute it on CPU before it's
submitted to GPU.
It seems that when the uniform's callback is called, the camera has not been
updated yet, right?
Currently I solve this problem by updating the uniform in a PreDrawCallback of
the camera. But is this a graceful way to achieve it?
Thanks in advance.
Guo
