<div dir="ltr">Hi Carlos,<br><br>The KiwiViewer 1.0 app for iOS and Android only renders when needed, whereas KiwiViewer 2.0 for iOS always renders (redraws) at 30 fps. Larger models will prevent a redraw rate of 30 fps, but still, the app runs an animation loop. The animation loop is active by default. To prevent rendering, you can set the "paused" property of the GLKViewController, then it will only redraw when explicitly requested. But then the view won't redraw at all, even when the camera moves during touch interactions, or some other setting is changed like background color, camera projection mode, current dataset, etc. Adding the application logic so that the view only redraws when necessary was a feature on the todo list, but it hasn't made it into the app, yet. I agree, it does result in increased battery usage.<br>

With heavy models, ie. models that need more than 1/30 seconds to be drawn, the app is always running so the battery will be drained more quickly than needed.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
