We are working with our own custom plugin, and are now a bit stuck on how to pass the GL texture handle we have to the ovrLayerEyeFov ld. ( 1.3 SDK )

ld.ColorTexture[0] = ?

    the `ColorTexture` member of `ovrLayerEyeFov` is an `ovrTextureSwapChain`.  It should be populated with a swap chain you created with `ovr_CreateTextureSwapChainGL`.   

    If the GL texture handle you have is one you got from that swap chain (using `ovr_GetTextureSwapChainBufferGL`) then it's already part of the internals.  If it's some GL texture handle you created, then you need to copy it into the texture handle fetched from the SDK.

    Thank you : still struggling a bit but perhaps I will manage to muddle through.
