panda3d
feature suggestion : convert textures to /from pygame
Description
i would like to make a game that internally uses panda3d to render 3d models , but uses pygame for the GUI but i was unable to find any way to convert textures to / from pygame to panda3d
Use Case
basically any use case where someone wants to use these 2 libraries together
I believe the Buffer protocol and/or memoryview, which Panda already supports, is usual used for this kind of thing (sharing data between libraries). However, for textures, you'd have to do copies to and from the CPU, which would slow things down. I don't know the details, but there is a way to get Panda to share/use an existing OpenGL context (e.g., one created by PyGame). From there, you could grab the "native" ID of a Panda Texture to use in PyGame. I'm not sure about getting a texture from PyGame to Panda.
