Hey Guys,
For the last couple of weeks i had been working on a new technique for terrain shading, to be more precise how to blend a lot textures per patch. The idea was to find a something that works with Geometry Clipmaps, but since storage... |

GPU clipmaps texture question
|
Are you using D3D9 (or OpenGL 1.x/2.x) or D3D10/11 (or OpenGL 3.x/4.x)?
If you are using D3D10 or up, you can use a Texture Array with the diferent textures in each slice in combination with a Index Map (a texture with indices). |

The question about DirectCompute and OpenCL.
|
You can use OpenCL with OpenGL, Direct3D 9 and even Direct3D 10. However Direct Compute is part of Direct3D 11. |

Removal of Built-In uniforms
-as GLSL has nothing like HLSL/FX's 'semantics' the built-in uniforms were handy for exchanging shaders between apps. Does the ARB have a better solution, GLFX maybe? (sorry, I've been u... |

Additive Blending doesn´t need sort:) |
