Rescale Image

[bdpdonp]

I am working with larger 2D images (textures) that will be used for a splash-screen and throughout other areas. I intend to allow changing resolution to ones I specified. I would like to rescale the imaged down, for example a large 4:3 2D image, and scale it down to maybe 1024*768.

Is there any way to do this in irrlicht? I have read the forums and the last discussion seems to be 3 years ago. The methods I have tried only appear to crop the image, not reduce the size.

I have thought about GDI+ as it seems to be straightforward and stores the image in a raw format, but would need to find a way to load this bitmap in memory to irrlicht.

I have looked at other 3rd party libraries but I would have the same issue.

Any suggestions?

The draw2DImage method with dest rect can do scaling.

Also, take a look at this snippet, it allows to draw many fragments of one texture into another texture with diferent scales, maybe it serves you, because, instead of performing a draw call once for each image you want, it draws all the images at once.

Thanks. Works well.

Why is that not yet integrated.

It is DX only. Though I think it is posible to build that utility over the code of Irrlicht.
