[/ QUOTE ] I actually made a bitmap by typing numbers into an ascii file once. It's not that hard but I had to do a bit of coding in postscript to get it into the proper array. But I… -
Re: Creating a 1d texture
1d textures can be used to store more complex calculations. Although this is less true today with powerful hardware. But think about any mathematical function that takes a single scalar value as input. Of course the result (unless float textures used) wouldnt be as precise, but especially in older card generations it was…
