Texture object reloads
Author
I am not sure on this, but if I setup like 10 texture objects and I later want to reload data into them can I just reload the new data into the same object names or do I have to delete those objects first and then reload the new data into the same names? Thanks

Nevermind, I just deleted the object and reloaded it into the same one. Just seems the right way to do it...
Quote:Original post by MARS_999You can overwrite an existing texture if it is the currently bound texture. glTexImage* will create a new texture in it's place. If you just want to change the texture data and nothing else (internal format, texture dimensions, and border will remain unchanged) you can use glTexSubImage*. You can also use glTexSubImage* to change all the texture data or just a subregion of it.

For more info, read the OpenGL Spec.

Yeah thats the issue I will not know due to the user will select the texture that they want to use. So looks like I made the right decision in deleteing the object and just reload it.
