Hi,
I'm wondering if i use like a texture with size 1024 x 2048
How do i sample it and what are the uv coordinates.

Ty for the reply.
So i have this panoramic sky texture that is 4096 x 1024.
If i want to texture it my uv coordinates are between 0 - 0.5 is that what u mean?

[s]It would be 0-1 in the x/u direction and 0-0.25 in the y/v direction.[/s] Edit: sorry, drunk when I posted that
It would be 0-1 in the x/u direction and 0-1 in the y/v direction.
However, some graphics cards might not allow non-square textures, or might allow them but store them as a square texture anyway (so your texture would be a 4096 x 4096 with only the top 1024 pixels actually used) so a safer alternative would be to make it 2048 x 2048 with the left half of the original texture in the top 1024 and the right half in the bottom 1024.

UV coordinates are affine, meaning they're unitless and as such are independent from texture resolution. For most purposes, like, say, texturing a mesh, this means you can freely change the global level of detail for the texture and things work out. Loosely, it'd be like the low-resolution texture gets 'stretched out' to cover the high-resolution one (and as an aside, this behavior is a requirement for MIPmapping to work properly)
If you're trying to sample from *specific pixels* in the texture, that changes things-- can you clarify what it is you're trying to do with your texture here?
Another way to describe uv coordinate is to say that they are percentages. Meaning 1.0 = 100% and 0 = 0%. So, if you have a u coord of .4, it means it samples the tetxture 40% away from the point (0, 0) in the u direction (which is left-to-right, the v direction is up-down). In Direct x (0, 0) is the top left corner of the image, in open gl it is the bottom left corner of the image.
