Static texture

[espkk]

This has an example of texture (g_StaticTexture) used with SHADER_RESOURCE_VARIABLE_TYPE_STATIC.

When I'm trying that (e.g. by changing type in Tutorial03_Texturing and binding it using IPipelineState::GetStaticVariableByName) it seems that the texture and its sampler are still associated with SRB, leaving Diligent Engine: ERROR: No resource is bound to variable 'g_Texture' in shader 'Cube PS' of PSO 'Cube PSO' in the output. If no SRB is set it results in an assertion instead.

Is it possible to bind texture using PSO or the documentation is just inaccurate there?

If no SRB is set it results in an assertion instead.

That is correct. You still need to bind an SRB if there are any resources. The PSO keeps references to static resources, but the SRB still needs to be created and set.

Understood. I also figured out that Diligent Engine: ERROR: No resource is bound to variable 'g_Texture' in shader 'Cube PS' of PSO 'Cube PSO' comes from that my texture view is nullptr when set which most likely technically cannot be detected by IShaderResourceVariable::Set

Thanks for the help!
