Use existing ID3D11Texture2D or OpenGL texture directly in Engine

[Fredrum]

This sounds exactly what I am intending to do so would also be extremely interested in hearing some explanations or ideas!

Cheers

Hi,

Related to the AnswerHub question here, is there a way for us to supply our own textures and have the engine use them directly without going through the process of copying the data to memory then copying it to unreal’s memory where it then gets copied to a driver temp space before finally getting loaded as a texture. I have some streaming data that is going directly to a texture in a hardware accelerated way and I would really like to use it directly.

Is there any existing class to support This use-case or a simple way to subclass an existing one like Texture2D to support this?

Thanks for any suggestions or help offered!
