Yeah... so the way loading works is, the data for the next scene is loaded while the player is closest to that doorway gadget. So it's sorta preloaded. When you trigger the doorway, that stuff swaps into memory. But the most time is taken to rebuild new unique sculpts that weren't already in-memory from the previous scene. Which kinda uses up all the GPU processing while it does so, pretty much.
This means you can get near-instant load times if you have all of the next scene's sculpts in the current scene already. Or you could bring in the heavier more complex sculpts, and at least those will already be in memory and won't add to the load time between scenes.
But--for at least the PS4--it can't run a scene, *and* process new sculpts. Especially not large complex sculpts. So maybe sometime in the future, for the PS5-only. It would be cool to have a setting on the doorway which can trigger preloading that scene, and you have outputs for "it's loaded" and inputs for "go to the scene." So then you could show a loading screen from the current scene, or forward them to a separate loading scene and have the next real scene load in the background, or whatever you like. Very flexible. But that would only work if the system can actually process sculps in the background while running that other scene.
