Z buffer save/load?

OpenGL OpenGL: Basic Coding

Hello!

Here I go again with a stupid question.

Is it possible to save/load the depth buffer (without the use of shaders)? I was recommended to use glCopyTexImage to save the depth buffer into a texture, but no idea how to load it back…

Thank you very much in advance.

Simply using glReadPixels (save) and glDrawPixels (load) with GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT should do fine, no need for glCopyTexImage.
Check the man page for details:
http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/

However the drawpixels will fill both depth and rgba, with current color.

Thank you very much, worked perfectly, in the end was too slow though, but nevertheless, much gratitude!
