[SDL] Copy RGBA pixels directly to target texture without blending

[stewambo]

Hello,
I have a texture with static (or streaming) access and I need to render other stuff onto it, so I need to convert it to a target-texture. Therefor I just created an empty texture with SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET and set it as rendering target, but when i render my semi-transparent static/streaming texture onto it the black transparent background of the target-texture bleeds into the transparent part of my original texture

Original image:
[Image: Loading Image... ]

Left: original texture rendered directly;
Right: target-texture with original texture rendered ontop (obviously not the same, but darker)
[Image: Loading Image... ]

Code to create the image above:

Code:

SDL_Surface* surface = SDL_ConvertSurfaceFormat(IMG_Load("D:/Documents/Visual Studio 2015/Projects/SDLTest/resources/textures/gradientTexture.png"), SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888, NULL);
SDL_Texture* staticTexture = SDL_CreateTextureFromSurface(renderer, surface);
SDL_Texture* targetTexture = SDL_CreateTexture( renderer, SDL_PIXELFORMAT_RGBA8888, SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET, 50, 50 );

SDL_SetRenderTarget(renderer, targetTexture);
SDL_SetTextureBlendMode(targetTexture, SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND);
SDL_RenderCopy(renderer, staticTexture, NULL, NULL);
SDL_SetRenderTarget(renderer, NULL);

SDL_Rect rect0{ 50,50,50,50 };
SDL_RenderCopy(renderer, staticTexture, NULL, &rect0);
SDL_Rect rect1{ 100,50,50,50 };
SDL_RenderCopy(renderer, targetTexture, NULL, &rect1);




The solution to my problem in this topic (https://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=12064) was to set the background color of the target texture to one solid color, but here this doesn't work because the static texture is not a solid color...

So how can i get my target-texture to look exactly like my original texture, or is there a way to copy the RGBA information directly into the new texture without the need to render it using a blend mode?

Thanks :)

have you tried SDL_BLENDMODE_NONE ?

(instead of SDL_BLENDMODE_BLEND)

frameTexture = SDL_CreateTexture(renderer, current_format,
SDL_TEXTUREACCESS_TARGET, w, h);

SDL_SetTextureBlendMode(frameTexture, SDL_BLENDMODE_NONE);

Thanks to rtrussell (this thread (https://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=12361)) I tried the SDL_BLENDMODE_NONE again and found my mistake. Previously I always set the SDL_BLENDMODE_NONE for the target texture I wanted to render to, but I needed to set it for the static/streaming texture. Now it works perfectly fine.
