Detailed Description

The QQuick3DTextureData class can be used to specify custom texture data for a Texture in a Qt Quick 3D scene.

While not strictly required, the typical usage is to inherit from this class. The subclass is then exposed to QML by registering it to the type system. The textureData property of a Texture can then be set to reference an instance of the registered type.

Example implementation:

class CustomTextureData : public QQuick3DTextureData
{
    Q_OBJECT
    ... properties ...

public:
    CustomTextureData() { regenerateTextureData(); }

    void setProperty(...)
    {
        // Change relevant internal data.
        // ...

        // Update the texture data
        regenerateTextureData();

        // Finally, trigger an update. This is relevant in case nothing else
        // is changed in the scene; this way we make sure a new frame will
        // be rendered
        update();
    }
private:
    void regenerateTextureData()
    {
        QByteArray textureData;
        textureData = generateTextureData();
        setTextureData(textureData);
        setSize(QSize(256, 256));
        setFormat(QQuick3DTextureData::Format::RGBA8)
        setHasTransparency(true);
    }
};

This class can then be registered as a QML type and used with Texture.

In Qt 5 type registration happened with qmlRegisterType:

qmlRegisterType<MyCustomTextureData>("Example", 1, 0, "MyCustomTextureData");

In Qt 6 the default approach is to use automatic registration with the help of the build system. Instead of calling qmlRegisterType, the .pro file can now contain:

CONFIG += qmltypes
QML_IMPORT_NAME = Example
QML_IMPORT_MAJOR_VERSION = 1

With CMake, automatic registration is the default behavior, so no special settings are needed beyond basic QML module setup:

qt_add_qml_module(application
    URI Example
    VERSION 1.0
)

The class implementation should add QML_NAMED_ELEMENT:

class CustomTextureData : public QQuick3DTextureData
{
    Q_OBJECT
    QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(MyCustomTextureData)
    ...
};

The QML code can then use the custom type:

import Example 1.0

Model {
    source: "#Cube"
    materials: [
        DefaultMaterial {
            diffuseMap: diffuseMapCustomTexture
        }
    ]
    Texture {
        id: diffuseMapCustomTexture
        textureData: MyCustomTextureData { }
    }
}

Note: With the exception of RGBA8, not every format is supported at runtime as this depends on which backend is being used as well which hardware is being used.

Note: RGBE is internally represented as an RGBA8 but is intepreted as described when used as a lightProbe or skybox texture.

Note: Using the value None will assume the default value of RGBA8

Member Function Documentation

QQuick3DTextureData::Format QQuick3DTextureData::format() const

Returns the format of the texture data.

See also setFormat().

bool QQuick3DTextureData::hasTransparency() const

Returns true if the texture data has transparency.

The default value is false.

See also setHasTransparency().

void QQuick3DTextureData::setFormat(QQuick3DTextureData::Format format)

Sets the format of the texture data.

The default format is /c RGBA8

See also format().

void QQuick3DTextureData::setHasTransparency(bool hasTransparency)

Set hasTransparency to true if the texture data has an active alpha channel with non-opaque values.

This is used as an optimization by the engine so that for formats that do support an alpha channel do not need to have each value checked for non-opaque values.

See also hasTransparency().

void QQuick3DTextureData::setSize(const QSize &size)

Sets the size of the texture data in pixels.

See also size().

void QQuick3DTextureData::setTextureData(const QByteArray &data)

Sets the texture data. The contents of data must respect the size and format properties as the backend will try and upload and use the data as if it were a texture of size and format, and if there is any deviation the result will be somewhere between incorrect rendering of the texture, or potentially a crash.

See also textureData().

QSize QQuick3DTextureData::size() const

Returns the size of the texture data in pixels.

See also setSize().

const QByteArray QQuick3DTextureData::textureData() const

Returns the current texture data defined by this item.

See also setTextureData().
