-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Another, easier way is with a render target.
Initializing: - Create a render target texture of the size you need (derive CBaseClientRenderTargets, you have to init a render target at the right time), call it something like _my_rt0 Drawing: - Use SetRenderTargetAndViewPort to set the render target and view area - Clear the render target - Paint a vgui control or several vgui controls (call Paint/PaintTraverse or something manually) or, use surface->Draw* - The render target now contains whatever vgui painted, and you can reference it in a .vmt using $basetexture "_my_rt0". The way Mike suggested hasn't really worked for me, I had problems trying to get the procedural texture to work. This way is somewhat easier if you just want to draw text the way vgui does. If you need to upload text where you already have the raw image data then use the procedural texture. Likewise if you wanted to read image data from a video decoder or unsupported image format.
