* Unfortunately it seems like sometimes in GL when creating an GL_RGB internalformat texture you can copy from another GL_RGB internalformat texture. Other times you can't. * In particular the difference can just be the 'type' parameter passed when passing initial data, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE vs eGL_UNSIGNED_SHORT_5_6_5 * We treat this as a 'soft' hint, so if it's not present we fall back to the old path.
RenderDoc is a frame-capture based graphics debugger, currently available for Vulkan, D3D11, D3D12, OpenGL, and OpenGL ES development on Windows 7 - 10, Linux, and Android. It is completely open-source under the MIT license.
If you have any questions, suggestions or problems or you can create an issue here on github, email me directly or come into IRC to discuss it.
To install on windows run the appropriate installer for your OS (64-bit | 32-bit) or download the portable zip from the builds page. On linux there is a binary tarball available, or your distribution may package it. If not you can build from source.

Downloads
There are binary releases available, built from the release targets. If you just want to use the program and you ended up here, this is what you want :).
It's recommended that if you're new you start with the stable builds. Nightly builds are available every day from master branch here if you need it, but correspondingly may be less stable.
Documentation
The text documentation is available online for the latest stable version, as well as in renderdoc.chm in any build. It's built from restructured text with sphinx.
As mentioned above there are some youtube videos showing the use of some basic features and an introduction/overview.
There is also a great presentation by @Icetigris which goes into some details of how RenderDoc can be used in real world situations: slides are up here.
License
RenderDoc is released under the MIT license, see LICENSE.md for full text as well as 3rd party library acknowledgements.
Contributing & Development
Building RenderDoc is fairly straight forward. See CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.
I've added some notes on how to contribute, as well as where to get started looking through the code in CONTRIBUTING.md.
