Render to image problem
I was using this code to capture low size preview image for my save game data, but after new update it stopped working - now image is all black
Code:
void RenderToTexture(Image &img)
{
D.clear(BLACK);
D.viewRect(&RectI(0, 0, 256, 192));
Renderer(Render);
Renderer.capture(img, -1, -1, IMAGE_R8G8B8A8_SRGB, IMAGE_2D, 0);
img.crop(img, 0, 0, 256, 192);
D.viewRect(null);
}
So I check tutorials and create new function:
Code:
void RenderToTexture(Image &img)
{
int tex_size=256;
rtt.create(VecI2(tex_size, tex_size), IMAGE_R8G8B8A8_SRGB);
rtp=&rtt;
// render to texture
Renderer.target=&rtt; // specify custom render target
Renderer(Render); // perform rendering
Renderer.target=null; // disable custom render target
img.copy(rtt);
}
But it's also dosn't work, it's not possible to copy ImgeRT to Image? Or I making mistake somewhere else? Or can I just use ImageRT as normal Image?

RE: Render to image problem
It's possible to copy ImageRT to Image. But you don't have to. You can use it straight away as image.
Your second code calls image copy, probably in wrong order. Isn't the parameter the dest reference?
I'll check your codes tomorrow in the morning

RE: Render to image problem
Ah, yes! You right, silly me. It should be rtt.copy(img). Thank you!

Code:
D.clear(BLACK);
D.viewRect(&RectI(0, 0, 256, 192));
Renderer(Render);
Renderer.capture(img, -1, -1, IMAGE_R8G8B8A8_SRGB, IMAGE_2D, 0);
img.crop(img, 0, 0, 256, 192);
img.Export("C:/!/0.bmp");
D.viewRect(null);
I've tested this code however it works OK.
BTW. I think you need just 1 mip instead of 0(full set).

RE: Render to image problem
this looks like artifacts from 'ImageRT.discard'
Are you calling this code inside Draw or Update?
Are you on Windows platform? Classic Win32 or UWP?
I've tested this again (Win32) however it works fine for me. Tested on 2 GPU's

Quote:Drawing
All drawing/rendering functions should be called only on the main thread, inside current State Draw function, which is called automatically by the engine.

RE: Render to image problem
Yes, I check it and indeed I was using it until now in Update, since I needed it while I was creating save file. I never put much tought about it, since it was working well for like a year on many computers without any issues (wierd  ). Thank you for you support, I will move it to proper State function.

RE: Render to image problem
Older GPU's don't have 'ImageRT.discard' support.
So this affects only new GPU's.
Also in new engine version I've made some additional 'discard' call changes to improve performance.
If that won't help, then please let me know.
