"A new texture class Texture2DArray derived from
Texture extends the osg to support the new
EXT_texture_array extensions. Texture arrays provides
a feature for people interesting in GPGPU programming.
Faetures and changes:
- Full support for layered 2D textures.
- New uniform types were added (sampler2DArray)
- FrameBufferObject implementation were changed to
support attaching of 2D array textures to the
framebuffer
- StateSet was slightly changed to support texture
arrays. NOTE: array textures can not be used in fixed
function pipeline. Thus using the layered texture as a
statemode for a Drawable produce invalid enumerant
OpenGL errors.
- Image class was extended to support handling of
array textures
Tests:
I have used this class as a new feature of my
application. It works for me without problems (Note:
Texture arrays were introduced only for shading
languages and not for fixed function pipelines!!!).
RTT with Texture2DArray works, as I have tested them
as texture targets for a camera with 6 layers/faces
(i.e. replacement for cube maps). I am using the array
textures in shader programming. Array textures can be
attached to the FBO and used as input and as output."
"updates for GLSL core integration:
Code compiles and runs on win32.
Basic functionality of Program and Shader in place.
Program derived from StateAttribute.
Uniform value propagation is not yet functional (in development)
Includes some patches by Nathan Cournia.
includes example testcase to demo use of new classes."
