Hi there,
I have a legacy texture 2d in the one of these formats: 8bppIndexed, 16bppArgb1555, 16bppRgb555, 24bppRgb
How I can use DirectX11 to show them?
Thank you for your attention.
How to work with legacy textures using DirectX11?
8bppIndexed: I guess it's not supported and needs to be manually decoded, but I'm not entirely sure.
16bppArgb1555: DXGI_FORMAT_B5G5R5A1_UNORM. Requires feature level 11.1 and Windows 8, else it needs to be converted manually.
16bppRgb555: I only count 15bpp. If that's the case same as above (alpha is ignored), if you meant 565 then DXGI_FORMAT_B5G6R5_UNORM. Same requirement as above.
24bppRgb: not supported, needs to manually converted to 32bpp and loaded as DXGI_FORMAT_B8G8R8X8_UNORM
I'm not totally sure, but if these textures are loaded from disk, I would expect that the simplest thing might be to process them offline into whatever your most common format is, whether that is A8R8G8B8_UNORM, B8G8R8A8_UNORM_SRGB, or B8G8R8X8_UNORM_SRGB, assuming that they are images, and then load the converted textures.
If they are actually data stored as textures, that may not work as well.
