hi,
im trying to create a (3D) texture that only have a boolean value instead of an 8 bit value. i checked everywhere, and it seems like the type of texuture is limited to this:
GL_ALPHA, GL_ALPHA4, GL_ALPHA8, GL_ALPHA12, GL_ALPHA16, GL_LUMINANCE, GL_LUMINANCE4, GL_LUMINANCE8, GL_LUMINANCE12, GL_LUMINANCE16, GL_LUMINANCE_ALPHA, GL_LUMINANCE4_ALPHA4, GL_LUMINANCE6_ALPHA2, GL_LUMINANCE8_ALPHA8, GL_LUMINANCE12_ALPHA4, GL_LUMINANCE12_ALPHA12, GL_LUMINANCE16_ALPHA16, GL_INTENSITY, GL_INTENSITY4, GL_INTENSITY8, GL_INTENSITY12, GL_INTENSITY16, GL_R3_G3_B2, GL_RGB, GL_RGB4, GL_RGB5, GL_RGB8, GL_RGB10, GL_RGB12, GL_RGB16, GL_RGBA, GL_RGBA2, GL_RGBA4, GL_RGB5_A1, GL_RGBA8, GL_RGB10_A2, GL_RGBA12, or GL_RGBA16. Additionally, if the extension GL_EXT_shadow is supported, may be one of the symbolic constants GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16_EXT, GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT24_EXT, or GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT32_EXT.
there is no 1 bit value for the the texture as far as i notice. is it possible to make a 1 bit texture in openGL? if so, how can i do that? whats the difference between GL_ALPHA and GL_ALPHA8?
thanks in advance
