gluBuild3DMipmaps

[rp]

Hello all,

I was looking for gluBuild3DMipmaps in the class GLU, but I can't find it. Is there another way to access this method?

Regards,

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like LWJGL only supports GLU version 1.2 (gluBuild3DMipmaps is in version 1.3).

Must be something like that. If anyone else has this question, it can be done, since openGL 1.4. You must call

glTexParameteri(GL_TEXTURE_3D, GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP, GL_TRUE);

before

glTexImage3D(...)

You should use glGenerateMipmap instead, and only fall back to GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP if necessary.

Here's what I do:
- If GL30 is supported, use GL30.glGenerateMipmap()
- Otherwise, if GL_EXT_framebuffer_object is present, use EXTFramebufferObject.glGenerateMipmapEXT()
- Otherwise, fall back to GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP

Thanks for this Update. I just found the solution somewhere in the web. But yours seems to be better.

Thanks.
