Description

This extension adds support for a new image organization, which this extension refers to as “corner-sampled” images. A corner-sampled image differs from a conventional image in the following ways:

This image organization is designed to facilitate a system like Ptex with separate textures for each face of a subdivision or polygon mesh. Placing sample locations at pixel corners allows applications to maintain continuity between adjacent patches by duplicating values along shared edges. Additionally, using the modified mipmapping logic along with texture dimensions of the form 2n+1 allows continuity across shared edges even if the adjacent patches use different LOD values.

Issues

  1. What should this extension be named?

    DISCUSSION: While naming this extension, we chose the most distinctive aspect of the image organization and referred to such images as “corner-sampled images”. As a result, we decided to name the extension NV_corner_sampled_image.

  1. Do we need a format feature flag so formats can advertise if they support corner-sampling?

    DISCUSSION: Currently NVIDIA supports this for all 2D and 3D formats, but not for cube maps or depth-stencil formats. A format feature might be useful if other vendors would only support this on some formats.

  2. Do integer texel coordinates have a different range for corner-sampled images?

    RESOLVED: No, these are unchanged.

  3. Do unnormalized sampler coordinates work with corner-sampled images? Are there any functional differences?

    RESOLVED: Yes. Unnormalized coordinates are treated as already scaled for corner-sample usage.

  4. Should we have a diagram in the “Image Operations” chapter demonstrating different texel sampling locations?

    UNRESOLVED: Probably, but later.

Synopsis

data PhysicalDeviceCornerSampledImageFeaturesNV Source #

VkPhysicalDeviceCornerSampledImageFeaturesNV - Structure describing corner sampled image features that can be supported by an implementation

Members

This structure describes the following feature:

Description

If the PhysicalDeviceCornerSampledImageFeaturesNV structure is included in the pNext chain of the PhysicalDeviceFeatures2 structure passed to getPhysicalDeviceFeatures2, it is filled in to indicate whether each corresponding feature is supported. PhysicalDeviceCornerSampledImageFeaturesNV can also be used in the pNext chain of DeviceCreateInfo to selectively enable these features.
