3D dxDraw

[dugasz1]

Hello everybody.
I would like to draw in 3D. I use DxDrawMaterialLine3D for it.
So i have a background image but i want to write text to it and draw recentagles to it. Is it possible? Can i somehow set the dxDrawText output to my background texture?

You can most definitely draw text in 3D as well, you'll want to check out getScreenFromWorldPosition for that. The same applies for drawing DX shapes such as rectangles.

Thank you for your answer. It's an opportunity but i realised i was blind  I can use DxCreateRenderTarget and DxSetRenderTarget then i can just use all the dxDraws and after all draw it with DxDrawMaterialLine3D .

Yup, the wonders of render targets It should be far more optimized as well

[dugasz1]

Yes the other important benefit and then i don't need to do the math of transformations

And another question about rendertargets. How can i make a texture from my rendertarget ? Or is it possible ? because i want to delete my render target just keep the texture and draw it?

local renderT = dxCreateRenderTarget(400,400, true)
dxSetRenderTarget(renderT)
dxDrawText("Hello world", 0,0 200,200)
dxDrawRecentagle(0,0,200,200, tocolor(255,255,255,255))
--etc..
dxSetRenderTarget()
local createdTexture = --get somehow the texture
destroyElement(renderT)

dxDrawMaterialLine3D(0, 0, 5, 0, 0, 5-2, createdTexture, 2)   --Draw it

    local renderT = dxCreateRenderTarget(400,400, true)
    dxSetRenderTarget(renderT)
    dxDrawText("Hello world", 0,0 200,200)
    dxDrawRecentagle(0,0,200,200, tocolor(255,255,255,255))
    --etc..
    dxSetRenderTarget()

    dxDrawMaterialLine3D(0, 0, 5, 0, 0, 5-2,renderT, 2)   --Draw it
    destroyElement(renderT)

I know but i wanted to create as texture but know i checked it uses the same part of memory so never mind.
Thank you.

dx drawing functions need to render event, and when you destroyed render you will cause an bug
