I posted a query last month with regards to the use of default tiles in
cliptextures. Unfortunately, nobody could furnish me with any pointers,
so this is a second attempt!
I am attempting to construct a large (8Mtexel) cliptexture that relies
heavily on the use of a default tile for each image cache level within
the texture - however I never see the default tiles that I have defined.
In an attempt to isolate this problem, I have constructed a very small
cliptexture with the following characteristics:
Virtual size = 2048
Clip size = 1024
Tile size (for lower levels) = 512
Smallest Icache level =64
I constructed the pyramid levels manually (any old data will do), and
relied on the default tile to populate the clipped level. The 'icache'
tool was used to verify the correctness of each level in isolation; in
all cases the default tile appeared correctly.
However when running clipfly, only the pyramid levels can be observed
and no default tiles are ever seen. Fiddling with the cliptexture
sliders, it appears as if the levels that use default tiles are not
present in texture memory.
System details:
Onyx2 running IRIX 6.4
InfiniteReality2 graphics board with 64Mb texture memory
IRIX Performer release 2.2.2
Three possibilities spring to mind:
1) I have made a mistake in my config. file(s).
2) There is a per/clipfly bug that I don't know of.
3) There is a firmware bug that I don't know of.
I have attached all image cache and cliptexture configuration files for
reference if required.
Thanks in advance(?!)
