Streaming to texture
« on: September 02, 2010, 10:44:13 pm »
How would i efficiently stream data to a texture using SFML?

When using pure opengl i would usually have 2 PBOs where i write to one from memory while the other is rendered. Not sure how well this maps to SFML?

In SFML 1, Image::LoadFromPixels is optimized for this kind of usage.
In SFML 2, there is a new Image::UpdatePixels function which is even more optimized.

This will never be as optimized as using "double-buffering" with PBOs, but it's enough to display a full-screen video at 30 fps, for example.

Should be good enough. Thank you.
