RenderTexture with own renderer

[DEV362]

Hi, can I use own renderer for each RenderTexture? I'm trying render a video into  texture which i want to use on multiple sprites, but with WebGL renderer there are problems with rendering videotexture in some browsers. So I want to use WebGL renderer only for rendering main stage and CanvasRenderer for "prerender" videotexture in RenderTexture. Is it possible?

Not all browsers support this feature, i believe

If you are using a canvas renderer for the precached texture, then you don't need a render texture at all. Just have a canvas renderer, draw to it, and then create a texture out of the canvas it is drawing to.

You can then use that texture in your webgl scene.

 

var renderer = new PIXI.WebGLRenderer(...);var canvasRenderer = new PIXI.CanvasRenderer(...);var cacheSprite = new PIXI.Sprite(PIXI.Texture.fromCanvas(canvasRenderer.view));canvasRenderer.render(precachedScene);renderer.render(cacheSprite);

Dont forget to update it (make texture.dirty = true) every time you change it to re-upload to GPU

You should use `texture.update()` so that PIXI will update it, setting dirty does nothing in v3.
