Question

I’m writing some code where all I have access to is a textureID to get access to the required texture. Is there any way that I can get access to the RGB values of this texture so I can perform some computations on it?

EDIT: I am looking for the inverse of glTexSubImage2D. I want to get the texture data rather than replace it.

Answer 1

You are probably looking for glGetTexImage

Before using glGetTexImage, don’t forget to use glBindTexture with your texture ID.
