In OpenGL you have the function gluBuild2DMipmaps. Does the Texture class in DirectX have any methods to load data from an array into it?

LPDIRECT3DTEXTURE8 Texture;
D3DLOCKED_RECT RC;
//

HRESULT Result = GD3DDEVICE->CreateTexture(Width, Height, 1, 0, D3DFMT_A4R4G4B4, D3DPOOL_MANAGED, &Texture);
if(FAILED(Result))
{
    return false;
}
//

Texture->LockRect(0, &RC, 0, 0);
unsigned char* Pixels = (unsigned char*)RC.pBits;
unsigned short* DPixels;
//

for(Y = 0; Y < Height; Y++)
{
    DPixels = (unsigned short*)Pixels;
    for(X = 0; X < Width; X++)
    {
        //--Set Pixel Color

        *DPixels++ = PixelColor;
    }
    Pixels += RC.Pitch;
}
Texture->UnlockRect(0);

IT WORKS! YES! I MADE IT WORK!


i still don't have a clue why it works.

i.e. can anybody point me to a better Perlin Noise tutorial? One that actually explains how it works?
