Ptr<Texture> getTemporaryTexture ( int width, int height, int format, int flags = 0, const char * name = 0 ) #

Allocates a temporary render texture with the specified width, height, format, and flags. This function can be used when you need a quick render texture to perform some temporary calculations. Release it using releaseTemporaryTexture() as soon as you're done with it, so another call can start reusing it, if necessary. In any case, such texture shall be released automatically in the next frame.

UNIGINE keeps an internal pool of temporary render textures, so a call to this method most often just returns an already created one (if the size and format match). These temporary textures are actually destroyed when they aren't used for a couple of frames.

If you are doing a series of post-processing "blits", it's best for performance to get and release a temporary render texture for each blit, instead of getting one or two render textures upfront and reusing them.

Notice
You can't depend on any particular contents of a temporary texture obtained from this function: it might be garbage, or it might be cleared to some color, depending on the platform.

It also automatically gives names to resources, which can be used for identification in debug.

Arguments

  • int width - Width of the texture, in pixels.
  • int height - Height of the texture, in pixels.
  • int format - Texture format: one of the Texture::FORMAT_* values.

Renders the 2D image of the given node in accordance with the specified parameters. The viewport position is taken from the camera created via Camera class. The node can be rendered using the specific type of lighting and environment cubemap.

Arguments

  • const Ptr<Camera> & camera - Camera to be used.
  • const Ptr<Node> & node - Node to be rendered.
  • const Ptr<Image> & image - Image to save the result to.
  • int width - Width of the image, in units.
  • int height - Height of the image, in units.
  • int hdr - HDR flag. This parameter determines the format of the 2D image:
    • 1 - image format will be set to RGBA16F. It means that the HDR image buffer will store pixel values outside the [0;1] range (i.e. both negative and positive values).
    • 0 - image format will be set to RGBA8.
  • int skip_flags - Skip the effects. One of the SKIP_* variables should be specified. 0 enables all the effects.
  • int light_usage - Sets the light sources that will affect the node (one of the USAGE_*_LIGHTING Viewport class variables).
  • const char * environment_texture_name - Path to the environment cubemap to be used. Takes effect if the first (auxiliary light) or second (node light) lighting mode is used (see the light_usage argument above). In case LightWorld is used (zero mode), the environment cubemap used for the current world will be used.
