Hello,  
I’d like to use multipassshading in my Game, and because I’d need freely programmable blending for that, each shaderprogram would have an sampler with the result of the previous shaderprogram. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to implement the rendering to a texture ![Smile](). What would be the efficientest way to do this? Or is this multipassshading (nice word ![LOL]()) too expensive for a SGX530 (I’m developing for a SE satio with TI OMAP 3530)?  
  
Thanks in advance!
