Simple question:
Is translucent VolatileImage OGL accelerated ?
Mmmhhh, I remember that Chet posted this RFE:
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5002129
Everything is telling that I’ve NO CHANCE to get my offscreen graphics hardware accelerated, right ?

No, translucent/bitmask VolatileImages are not accelerated in hardware with the OGL pipeline… That’s why 5002129 was filed.
Opaque VolatileImages are accelerated via OGL of course (rendering-to and copying-from).

So I’ve NO CHANCE with java2d to get my offscreen graphics hardware accelerated, right ?

I thought I just answered this question. If you’re rendering into an OPAQUE VolatileImage with OGL enabled, then that rendering will be hardware accelerated. If you’re rendering into a BITMASK or TRANSLUCENT VolatileImage with OGL enabled, then as of 1.5 the rendering will use software loops.

Yes Chris, I was just repeating the question to underline the fact that translucent offscreen acceleration is a much needed feature for me. I was waiting for a neat solution from you (ehe).
Yesterday I started working with LWJGL PBuffers. They seem ok (but I didn’t want to start learning another API, sob, sob).
Cheers,
