Mixing GL_TEXTURE_2D and GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB
Author
Hi to everyone:
I've added this post due I have new question/doubt that come out form the answers I got to my previous post:
Using GL_ARB_texture_rectangle with POT textures.
the question is:
Is it possible to mix GL_TEXTURE_2D and GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB texture targets into the same scene? I.e. can I render one poligon whit a texture associated to GL_TEXTURE_2D and another polygon with GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB target?
I omit the reasons why I wish/need to do that just to save space, if you are interested in knowing them just follow the link above and you will get the whole picture.
I didn't read the linked post, so this may not apply. Within a single draw call you can use both targets, but not on the same texture unit at the same time. So, for example, unit 0 could be a 2d texture while unit 1 is a rectangle texture. You could not use both targets on unit 0 at the same time however.
Between draw calls you can change the target used by a texture unit. So you could draw one batch of triangles using a rect texture on unit 0 and then draw another batch of triangles using a 2d texture on unit 0. You will have to make a separate draw call for each batch.

Thank you very much for the info! I can do as you suggested: changing the active texture target between 2 consecutive calls!
