NodeMaterial: Using usampler2D with node materials

It seems like there’s no way to use usampler2D uniforms in node materials (note the u). With standard materials, one can just create a THREE.DataTexture and pass it as a uniform (e.g. THREE.RedIntegerFormat, THREE.UnsignedByteType, and .internalFormat = "R8UI"). It’s not clear how to do something like this with nodes. My initial guess was that creating a Nodes.TextureNode with a given DataTexture will work, but it generates glsl code for a uniform like this:

uniform sampler2D nodeU1;

It seems like it can only create sampler2D’s.

Maybe there needs to be a Nodes.DataNode or something like that?

The old node system, which was located in examples/jsm/nodes was replaced in r138 by the new node system, which was located in examples/jsm/renderers/nodes (and now it is located in examples/jsm/nodes).

Yes, but we don’t have this features in new system. I think it’s better to leave it open for now?
