How do I convert this texture: Into one like this? I looked arond on the msdn and google but there doesn't seem to be a "copy" or "D3DXCreateTextureFromTexture" function and as the 2nd one can't be used as a render target I can't just draw one onto the other (as I can the other way around):(

Quote:Original post by Sync Views
if(FAILED(D3DXCreateTexture
(cgm::d3d_device,
w, h,
1,
D3DUSAGE_RENDERTARGET,
D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8,
D3DPOOL_DEFAULT,
ℑ))) return -1;

Why can't you just add "...FromFileEx" onto that function and go from there?

-EDIT- To Sync Views (two posts down)

I'm sorry, but I still am not sure what the problem is. Why can't you just edit your "D3DXCreateTexture" code and change "D3DPOOL_DEFAULT" to "D3DPOOL_MANAGED".
If the answer is obvious, I'm sorry for my stupidity.

Thanks for your patience.

-EDIT-

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you want to covert an off-screen texture into a file-texture.
You may want to try here.

I'm sorry if this isn't what your looking for. To tell the truth, I just started programming and I shouldn't have tried to help you in the first place. Sorry.

I have never dabbled in 3d, but I know directx7 has some nice functions to convert pixel formats, although I don't think you mean that.. considering it looks like these are both on the same pixel format.

@Mr Krackers
because it's not in a file...the second one is just an example of loading into thet format froma file because I don't know how to load from anything else... (and the only other functions ive found are for loading from resources so that still doesn't help much...

create render target        \/set as render target        \/render a bunch of stuff onto it        \/convert it to a D3DPOOL_MANAGED texture to protect it from lost devices <<how?        \/use it as a texture
