Overview: buffers

Buffers are dedicated memory used to temporarily store color data, depth information, and other rendering details. They are most commonly used in shader programming to hold textures, but can also be used for shader storage buffer objects. Buffers are accessed through sampling a sampler2D uniform.

Sampler	Format	Size
colortexN	RGBA*	display resolution*
depthtexN	R24 / R32†	display resolution
noisetex	RGB8*	256 x 256*
shadowColorN	RGBA*	shadow map resolution*

^{*Configurable in shaders.properties
†Dependent on drivers}
