What happened to GFXDevice::startActiveRenderSurface ?

#1 I believe it's been changed to pushActiveRenderSurface() but I could be incorrect.

Edit:

And endActiveRenderSurfaces is now popActiveRenderSurface()

#2 It doesn't look like the method name was simply changed; it looks like the theory of operation has actually changed. The pushActiveRenderSurfaces(void), popActiveRenderSurfaces(void), and setActiveRenderSurface(GFXTextureObject* surface, U32 renderTargetIndex, U32 mipLevel) all seem like they are supporting multiple render targets (as in render to texture), but without any documentation it's hard to tell for sure.

Does anyone know of any documentation, notes, discussion, doodles on napkins, etc. describing how GFXDevice (or really GFXD3DDevice) is now operating in TSE?

#3 Push and popActiveRenderSurfaces will push and pop current render targets onto a stack. setActiveRenderSurface() sets the current render target that TSE will render to. If you want multiple render targets at the same time, you need to call setActiveRenderSurface multiple times with each additional surface and surface index you want to render to.

The one tricky thing you need to know about that call though is that to switch rendering to the back buffer, you need to pass in a NULL surface to setActiveRenderSurfaces. Or surround your setActive call with push/popActiveRender surface calls.

Look at glowBuffer.cpp for examples of how to use it.

#4 Definitely what I was looking for. Thanks, Brian.
