andrew b posted a patch in the recent past that used 3d textures and a shader to do some time warping stuff. Currently in Jitter it is not possible to modify a specific 2D slice of a 3D texture, so this is not a good strategy for streaming footage until that functionality is present as uploading all the data of a 3D texture can cause frame drops. For more see his patch which is under the email title "[sharingmakesmesleepy]time warp"

Thanks.... I already checked out Andrews patch awhile ago must of forgot his comment on updating 3D textures. Very cool patch though!

My work around for now involves creating a bank of textures t0, t1, t2..... and then making a circular buffer through indexing each texture and sending video content.

I tried to use just one texture and changing the @name before assigning a new matrix but as soon as you change the name it seems the old texture '@name old' is no longer available. Is there someway of overriding this?

No. You have to keep all instances around. I beleive I posted a javascript that makes a circular buffer out of 2D textures.

Is there any way to add a slice to an existing 3D texture without uploading the whole 'cube'? This would afford huge speed gains.

If I bind an empty 3D texture, can I use sampler3D, force the last 3D coord to be 'constant' for the frame and pop in a sampler2D/2dRect?

Ive seen this technique before used outside of jitter, but I was under the impression (I believe I asked if 3D textures were supported, and thought the answer was no) that sampler3D is not supported? So one can have 3D textures, not 3D samplers in a shader?

I somehow missed this thread until now as well. Awesome awesome patch.

So, in short, can I bind a jit.gl.texture @dim 720 480 60 with a sampler3D within a jit.gl.shader / slab?

I suppose I could have tried it in the time ive been writing this email. hah. Sorry. :)

Nevermind. I somehow missed the shader in there that has sampler3D. I will shut up and rtfm, and report back when I have something cool working :P

FWIW, 3D texture management is one of the things rumored to be investigated for the next major Jitter upgrade, so if you can stand to wait...

Otherwise, the patch I posted should serve as a good general guide for people wanted to work with 3D textures within a slab context in Jitter until there are better methods.

For people just looking to do a circular buffer video-delay effects, this will be best accomplished using a scripting language such as JavaScript or Lua. I believe both Wes and myself have posted examples of this in the past.

Best, Andrew B.

Thanks Wes for the pointers... I dug up those javascript examples. This is some good motivation to start using javascript more often. ... especially for multiple renderings of similar objects!

Andrew, when I'm completely versed in the current functionality of Jitter then maybe I'll become impatient waiting for the next release ;-).

Hi. Yeah i have a pretty decent javascript for a buffer of 2D textures, but im realizing now that I probably will have to delve into gl.lua to get 3D texture management so I can add slices to an existing 3D texture without re-uploading the whole texture. Oh, always something new to learn. :P

Thanks,

Hi,

With things coming like kinect, is there any plan for real time 3D texture shader management in jitter ? Or I missed something?

Would anyone have the andrew's Time warp patch ?? Thx ! Ad.

no one ? Thx Ad

I think this is it, from 09/2007

As always thank you Andrew !!! Ad.
