Multitexturing with 3 Texture Units
Author
Hello!
Is it possible to blend 2 textures with an alpha-texture with a graphic card which has only 3 Texture Units?
I would like to calculate: FinalColor = TexA*(AlphaTex) + TexB*(1-AlphaTex)
Every solution I have ever seen used 4 Textures (2 normal textures and two alphas).
Is there a way to do it with 3 textures? How do I have to configure the blending stages?
Thanks for any advice!
Hi,
I really recommend to use shaders for solution to this. Although it can be done with several texture units ... look closer here:
Link
The best solution would probably be using GL_INTERPOLATE_EXT token for glTexEnvi (or glTexEnvf, ...) - it does this - Arg0 * (Arg2) + Arg1 * (1-Arg2), e.g. exactly what you want.
Dunno if this is correct, but it should be written like (not sure, please anybody correct me if this is wrong ... I hadn't time to test it):

Thanks for your answer - will try it later on!
Unfortunately, my graphic card has not only not more than 3 TU but also no support for Shaders :-) It's an old ATI Mobility Radeon.
