CompressedArrayTexture

Creates a texture 2D array based on data in compressed form.

These texture are usually loaded with CompressedTextureLoader.

Constructor

new CompressedArrayTexture( mipmaps : Array.<Object>, width : number, height : number, depth : number, format : number, type : number )

Constructs a new compressed array texture.

mipmaps | This array holds for all mipmaps (including the bases mip) the data and dimensions.
---|---
width | The width of the texture.
height | The height of the texture.
depth | The depth of the texture.
format | The min filter value. Default is RGBAFormat.
type | The min filter value. Default is UnsignedByteType.

Properties

.image : Object

The image property of a compressed texture just defines its dimensions.

Overrides: CompressedTexture#image

.isCompressedArrayTexture : boolean (readonly)

This flag can be used for type testing.

Default is true.

.layerUpdates : Set.<number>

A set of all layers which need to be updated in the texture.

.wrapR : RepeatWrapping | ClampToEdgeWrapping | MirroredRepeatWrapping

This defines how the texture is wrapped in the depth and corresponds to W in UVW mapping.

Default is ClampToEdgeWrapping.

Methods

.addLayerUpdate( layerIndex : number )

Describes that a specific layer of the texture needs to be updated. Normally when Texture#needsUpdate is set to true, the entire compressed texture array is sent to the GPU. Marking specific layers will only transmit subsets of all mipmaps associated with a specific depth in the array which is often much more performant.

layerIndex | The layer index that should be updated.
---|---

.clearLayerUpdates()

Resets the layer updates registry.
