Is it possible to create CubeImage arrays?

[bombquake]

If I run

Code: Select all

local cubemap_array = love.graphics.newCanvas(1024,1024,10,{type="cube",format="depth16",readable=true})
print(cubemap_array:getTextureType())
print(cubemap_array:getLayerCount())

I get

Code: Select all

cube
1

there's only one layer, are cubeimage arrays supported?

TextureType only lets you specify one of array or cube or the others, so no, you can't have a Cube Array as you can't specify both at the same time.

Also, Texture:getLayerCount returns 1 for anything that isn't an array, so the result you're getting is expected.

I see thank you. I wanted to use them because I have several cubemaps I'm using inside my shader for omnidirectional shadow mapping and the compiler doesn't support sampler variable indexing. My current solution is to hard-code going through an array of them (below they're in in point_light_shadow_maps[]) so only constants are used for indexing

Code: Select all

// .\shader\vertex.glsl
#define DO_POINT_LIGHT(i)\\
  if (u_point_light_count > i){\\
  	if (point_light_has_shadow_map[i])\\
  		{light += calc_point_light_col_shadow(i, frag_normal, i, point_bias, point_light_shadow_maps[i]);}\\
  			else\\
  		{light += calc_point_light_col(i, frag_normal);}}
float point_bias = 1.35;
DO_POINT_LIGHT(0);
DO_POINT_LIGHT(1);
DO_POINT_LIGHT(2);
DO_POINT_LIGHT(3);
DO_POINT_LIGHT(4);
DO_POINT_LIGHT(5);
DO_POINT_LIGHT(6);
DO_POINT_LIGHT(7);
DO_POINT_LIGHT(8);

It feels more like a hack than a solution; after doing some profiling the bottlenecks are elsewhere in the program but still, if anyone has any ideas for better ways this could be done I'd love to hear it
