Rendering to an SMaterial

Is it possible to render an object to an SMaterial? No, I don't want to do any form of environment mapping. I have several 2D effects such as alpha masks, blurring etc. before I render it.

I have:

Code: Select all

if (driver->queryFeature(EVDF_RENDER_TO_TARGET))
		{
			ITexture *texTest;
			driver->setRenderTarget(texTest);
			printf("Driver does support this feature");
		}else{
			printf("Driver does not support this feature");
		}

Yet it just crashes with the setRenderTarget in. It does this both if I render stuff after or not. Also, how would I set the render target back?

RenderToTarget is not implemented currently, but when it would be, you'll simply have to set the render target to 0 if you want to render to the screen. But anyway, its not possible currently, sorry.

Okay. Is there an estirmated time to when it will be done? Just so I know whether it's worth doing it myself or not.
