Subject: Re: [osg-users] texture limit?

The limit is imposed by driver, you can read it with the openGL calls

int maxTexture;
glGetIntegerv(GL_MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS_ARB, &maxTexture);

this number should be 16 since geforce 6.

BTW, why are you usinge 8 texture? O_O
They are a lot.

Hello Robert,

yes, that was what I mean. :-) Also I can use 8, 16 or 32 textures, when
this the driver and the hardware this number of textures supports?

In my application I use a limit of 8 textures. Is this ok for a average
hardware?

Cheers.

Martin

HI Martin,

What do you mean by "texture limit per object"?  Do you mean how many
texture units can be active in OpenGL/OSG at once?

If my guess is correct for what you mean then the answer is simply -
it's hardware/driver dependant.  The answer also depends upon whether
you are using shaders or fixed function pipeline as some drivers have
a higher limit when using shaders.

The OSG itself doesn't apply any limits so you can assign as many
texture units as you wish, but it'll only work properly if the
underlying OpenGL implementation supports what you are asking from it.

Robert.
