Hi People! I''m trying here to copy a texture(DX3D) in a lot of Textures(For animation..). Ok. I have here first: - CreateTextureFromFile (logical isn''t?) then... CreateTexture and I made a void texture. Ok then a bird( ) said to me I should take the CopyRects-command. ... ok ... I took it... And then... In the copyrects command you can''t(till I can see) use Textures to copy, you should give him surfaces... ????????? I mean... What????? Should I convert all my textures in surfaces and then copy and then convert it again in textures????? Is there an other command? Or what should I do. I mean...I have here the commandlists before me and here it says, that there is a surfacefromfile command. But not a convert texture to surface or surface to texture command... Please help!!! (i can remember on surfaces in DD This should be something different, not?) Thanks to all! Greets: C.Ruiz (I had today an english-test: horrible like you can see... )

Call GetSurfaceLevel member of your texture to get a surface pointer. Don''t forget to Release it when you are done.

Hey! Thanks for this post!
Ok now I have converted it and then "copyreccted" it!
But... Now I should convert it in texture again.
And... that's the same problem like before...
means... I did'nt found any commands to convert...
What's the command to convert it again from surface to texture now?
Tnx to all and to Jack!

Please help!
Do you know witch command I should take to
convert it now from surface to texture?
Pleeeeeaasssee!
This would be the last step!
Tnx to all: C.Ruiz

It doesn''t work but I don''t understand it either!
CreateTextureFromFile Tex1
CreateTexture Tex2(void) <-(could be probably wrong defintion)

And then??????
Tex1->GetSurface Level( 0, Surface1)

Copyrect( surface1 to surface2

And then????!!!!????

Get surface Level(0, Surface2)
????????
Hmmmmmmm.......
Can anyone explain this? Plz!
Tnx for posts but I''m still frustrated....

P.S.: Coffee is my best friend!
P.P.S.: I try to make my text "living".
The question marks should take the reader to a long journey of you know... What a ***?????? What am I writing here??????

Hmm this is how I do it (note: from memory and no real commands

CreateTexture("somefile", blabla);
CreateTexture(blank)

LPDIRECT3DSURFACE8 surf1;
LPDIRECT3DSURFACE8 surf2;

Tex1->GetSurfaceLevel(surf1);
Tex2->GetSurfaceLevel(surf2);

D3DDevice->CopyRects(whatever);

surf1->Release();
surf2->Release();

Hope this helps, oh and by the way D3D won''t convert between formats so make sure your dest texture is in the correct format...

Hi again!
Ok I did it. I believe.
Ok... I know I''m new in DX3D.
But it doesn''t work properly. Yeah....
I would have problems explaining it. I copy it
and then he paints only a part of it. In the rest surface of the brush(sorry for this english) it paints some crazy lines. Like an error. How... tv or I don''t know when it gives problems.
I hope you can Imagine.
Ok I think following:
I loaded the texture well. Because I can see one part ok. (i mean correct bits etc...)
There are 3 numbers.
I mean first there is the size of the vertices.
For example 7.0f and 1.0f. I I change this it changes the size of the entire texture-"field". This should not be the problem.
Then there is the size of CreateTexture.... should be the size of pixels not? (shoudl be! How I think...)
And then there is the size of the copied RECT. I mean his should be ok because I can change it and it works ok... (yes... without the rest...)

What does this crazy lines on the texture-"Field"????????
Man!!!!
Sorry people! Raelly!!! Probably It''s a newbie problem.
Probably It''s a big shame this problem.
Hope not but... I know...

Yes I''m tired.... and my coffee-can is void!!!!!!!!!
I need coffee!!!!!!!!
