Can't change the TextureFormat for a RenderTargetTexture

[rockefeller 3]

Hey guys,

I want to create a custom RenderTargetTexture of type BABYLON.Engine.TEXTUREFORMAT_LUMINANCE but it doesn't work. here's my code:

textureFormat is always 5 (probably TEXTUREFORMAT_RGBA), regardless of what I set it to be.

 

// Render target

var renderTarget = new BABYLON.RenderTargetTexture( "depth",

128, // res

scene,

false, // generateMipMaps

true, // doNotChangeAspectRatio

BABYLON.Engine.TEXTURETYPE_UNSIGNED_INT, // type

false, // isCube

BABYLON.Texture.BILINEAR_SAMPLINGMODE, // samplingMode

false, // generateDepthBuffer

false, // generateStencilBuffer

false); //isMulti

 

renderTarget.noMipmap = true;

renderTarget.wrapU = BABYLON.Texture.CLAMP_ADDRESSMODE;

renderTarget.wrapV = BABYLON.Texture.CLAMP_ADDRESSMODE;

renderTarget.wrapR = BABYLON.Texture.CLAMP_ADDRESSMODE;

renderTarget.textureFormat = BABYLON.Engine.TEXTUREFORMAT_LUMINANCE;

renderTarget.hasAlpha = false;

renderTarget.gammaSpace= false;

 

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

My wild guess is that the constructor doesn't pass textureFormat to _renderTargetOptions

this._renderTargetOptions = {

                generateMipMaps: generateMipMaps,

                type: type,

                samplingMode: samplingMode,

                generateDepthBuffer: generateDepthBuffer,

                generateStencilBuffer: generateStencilBuffer

            };

textureFormat is a read-only parameter after the texture was created.

You can create a raw texture of type BABYLON.Engine.TEXTUREFORMAT_LUMINANCE using BABYLON.RawTexture.CreateLuminanceTexture(...) would that be helpful?

Can I use raw textures as rendertargets? if not, it doesn't help me much

Nope unfortunately.

RTT can be int, half, float but you cannot define the format (always RGBA)

if you want to, you can create a feature issue on our repo as I think it could be a good idea to support this use case

Done, here's the issue https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/issues/3901

Will work on it asap!
