How can I differentiate between sampler2D and sampler2DArray for a CompressedArrayTexture in WebGPU?

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm trying to extract the first texture from a CompressedArrayTexture and set it as a background. I'm using the spiritedaway.ktx2 example from the three.js repository, along with a modified decompress function from WebGL and WebGPU TextureUtils.

WebGL works fine, and here is the modified fragment shader part:

GLSL
          fragmentShader: !texture.isCompressedArrayTexture ?
          ``
          uniform sampler2D blitTexture; 
          varying vec2 vUv;

          void main(){ 
          gl_FragColor = vec4(vUv.xy, 0., 1.0);

          #ifdef IS_SRGB
          gl_FragColor = sRGBTransferOETF( texture2D( blitTexture, vUv) );
          #else
          gl_FragColor = texture2D( blitTexture, vUv);
          #endif
          }
          ``
          :
          ``
          uniform sampler2DArray blitTexture;
          varying vec2 vUv;

          void main(){
          gl_FragColor = vec4(vUv.xy, 0., 1.0);

          vec4 color = texture( blitTexture, vec3(vUv, 0.));
          gl_FragColor = vec4( color.rgb + .1, 1.0 );
          }
          ``

However, the WebGPU implementation produces only a colorful rainbow instead of the intended texture. Here's the WebGPU TSL code snippet:

```javascript
        if (!blitTexture.isCompressedArrayTexture) {
          material.fragmentNode = texture( blitTexture_clone, uv().flipY() );
        } else {
          const color = vec4( texture( blitTexture_clone, vec3( uv(), 0. ) );
          material.fragmentNode = vec4( uv().xy, 0., 1.0 );
          material.fragmentNode.add( vec4( color.rgb.add( .1 ), 1.0 ) );
        }

I’m unsure how to properly convert the WebGL fragment shader handling of the uniform sampler2D and sampler2DArray into WebGPU TSL. How can I distinguish between these two types in WebGPU to correctly access the texture? Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Handling CompressedArrayTexture in WebGPU TSL

Looking at your code, there are a few issues in your WebGPU TSL implementation that are causing the colorful rainbow instead of the intended texture.

Issues in Your Current Code

There's a syntax error in your WebGPU TSL code - a missing closing parenthesis in the vec4( texture( blitTexture_clone, vec3( uv(), 0. ) ) line.
The way you're setting and adding to material.fragmentNode isn't correct for WebGPU TSL.

Corrected WebGPU TSL Implementation

Here's how you should handle both regular textures and compressed array textures in WebGPU TSL:

JAVASCRIPT
if (!blitTexture.isCompressedArrayTexture) {
  // For regular textures
  material.fragmentNode = texture(blitTexture_clone, uv().flipY());
} else {
  // For compressed array textures
  // Create a vec3 with the UV coordinates and the layer index (0)
  const texCoord = vec3(uv().xy, float(0));
  
  // Sample the texture array at the specified coordinates
  const color = texture(blitTexture_clone, texCoord);
  
  // Set the fragment color
  material.fragmentNode = color;
  
  // If you want to add the slight brightness adjustment as in your WebGL shader:
  // material.fragmentNode = vec4(color.rgb.add(0.1), 1.0);
}

Key Differences in WebGPU TSL

In WebGPU TSL, the texture sampling function automatically detects the texture type (2D or 2DArray) based on the input parameters.
When sampling a texture array, you need to provide a vec3 where the third component is the layer index (0 in your case).
The material.fragmentNode should be set to the final color value, not incrementally built with .add().

Additional Tips

Make sure your texture is properly loaded and decompressed before using it.
Verify that blitTexture_clone is correctly set up with the appropriate texture type.
If you're still seeing issues, you might need to check if the texture format is supported in WebGPU and if any additional transformations are needed.

This should help you correctly extract and display the first texture from your CompressedArrayTexture in WebGPU.
