For now there is a working blocking version that creates a TextureArray from given files and one that does the same for given Textures. The texture version is very costly - because it doesn’t make use of staging textures I guess (couldn’t get that to work).
Neither version does work async. Would really appreciate if some wizard could get that working.
Maybe some completely different approach is necessary for it to work.
Thanks for the effort, the nodes seem to run quite stable now. one nice to have would be an automatic rescale of the textures to a specific size, so one can add any textures to build an array.
and here is a solution for your other question, how to render an array texture with instancing:
Is there a way to make RenderTexture create MipMaps (like with Renderer (DX11 TempTarget))? Tried setting them on the Texture2D inside but it borks the texture.
however, if you create the textures on GPU you can probably not set the immutable flag, which can be a big performance hit. so when you load textures and they aren’t dynamic, it’s better to rescale on CPU and create immutable textures. but not sure whether the stride image type has a resize method…
what exactly is happening here? Is this a shaderFX compute template that inherits from the external shader file? I was wondering how you output to “GPU float4”. Tried copying the code into a “_ComputeFX” file, but my shader outputs “iRenderer”. do I have do render the compute data like in beta? Or it this the only way to get the “GPU float4” datatype?
