Learning three.js 07 :: Instancing & Multiple Models
94I solve the issues in loading models from an array, and clone models instead of loading the same one twice. Source linked below.
This video builds on the code produced in video 6.
Loading models from a list can cause weird behaviour because the loading process is asynchronous. The "key" variable will change while the object is loading, so when it finishes loading it puts the geometry data into a different key than when it started loading. We stop this by wrapping the contents of the for loop in a floating function which keeps the key from changing.
I used this SO question to help.

As I upload this I am in my last week of classes before a 2 week break. I should have the next video up before Sunday (2016-08-23). Next video will be the revered FPS gun view.
