OpenGL / Procedural Textures: How to ap...
Last post by subwaycity - February 03, 2026, 07:49:05Hi, i've found a lot of code about creating a procedural textures, but still i don't have any idea of how to apply them to a terrain surface (or any other kind of 3d object). I think the sequence should be this:
-create an empty texture
-bind the texture
-for every triangle in my surface redraw the texture passing the coordinate to a function which draws my texture
-apply the current texture to the triangle using the classical textCoords method
I think, but i'm not sure, that this should be the right sequence. Can somebody tell me if i'm right and then post some simple and clear code in which a procedural texture is created and then applied? Thank you very much (i apologize about my poor english!!)

Lightweight Java Gaming Library / How do I access the AUX0 buffe...
Last post by fnforg - February 02, 2026, 07:09:58Hi,
I am trying to save the current buffer contents (including depht buffer) into the aux0 buffer, so I can use it as background and simply use glCopyPixels to init the new backbuffer and render on top of it.
Unfortunatly this does not seem to work, because my system seems to lack the auxiliary buffers. Do I have to initialize or create these buffers first, or do I have to live with the fact that my opengl driver does not support them? Or maybe I can use a pbuffer for the same task, but I have not found out how to copy the pixels to the backbuffer.
With thanks in advance

Lightweight Java Gaming Library / Re: Slang bindings
Last post by spasi - January 25, 2026, 21:05:08First of all, slang does not have a pure C API, so this isn't going to be straightforward. Do not try to support C++ features, LWJGL does not support C++ bindings.
With that said, types like ISession are usually treated as opaque types. E.g.
For example, in:
the session parameter would be defined as:
which LWJGL understands as: a paramater with name "session" that has a type "pointer to opaque type slang::ISession".
With that said, types like ISession are usually treated as opaque types. E.g.
val ISession = "slang::ISession".opaque
For example, in:
SLANG_EXTERN_C SLANG_API slang::IModule* slang_loadModuleFromSource(
slang::ISession* session,
const char* moduleName,
const char* path,
const char* source,
size_t sourceSize,
ISlangBlob** outDiagnostics = nullptr);
the session parameter would be defined as:
ISession.p("session")
which LWJGL understands as: a paramater with name "session" that has a type "pointer to opaque type slang::ISession".

Lightweight Java Gaming Library / Re: Slang bindings
Last post by codex - January 25, 2026, 19:13:39Thanks for the guidance. I'm attempting option 1, but slang already seems a lot more complex than shaderc, so I have some questions.
How do I properly represent ISession? I've tried using both StructType and NativeClass for this, but neither seems to cover all the bases.
struct ISession : public ISlangUnknown {
virtual IGlobalSession* getGlobalSession() = 0;
virtual IModule* loadModule(const char* moduleName, IBlob** outDiagnostics = nullptr) = 0;
}

Lightweight Java Gaming Library / Re: Slang bindings
Last post by spasi - January 22, 2026, 09:09:45Hey codex,
There are two options now:
1. Building "offline" bindings as a new LWJGL module. You could start by examining the shaderc bindings and doing something similar for slang. This involves using the LWJGL Kotlin-based bindings generator. A great starting point is the commit that first added the shaderc bindings, it should include everything necessary to get started.
2. Building runtime-generated bindings using LWJGL 3.4.0. If you're able to upgrade to 3.4.0 and JDK 25, then you can use the new FFM-based runtime bindings generator in the org.lwjgl.system.ffm package. With this generator you write simple Java interfaces to describe a C API (downcalls, upcalls, structs/unions) and you get instances of those interfaces generated at runtime by LWJGL. Assuming you have access to prebuilt slang binaries, you should be able to start using it immediately, without building a custom LWJGL or waiting for a fresh snapshot.

Lightweight Java Gaming Library / Slang bindings
Last post by codex - January 22, 2026, 00:51:06Are there any plans to add bindings for slang? If not, how can I get started on making these bindings for lwjgl myself?
