Description

List of graphics commands to execute.

Command buffers hold list of rendering commands ("set render target, draw mesh, ..."). They can be set to execute at various points during camera rendering (see Camera.AddCommandBuffer), or be executed immediately (see Graphics.ExecuteCommandBuffer).

Typically they would be used to extend Unity's rendering pipeline in some custom ways. For example, you could render some additional objects into deferred rendering g-buffer after all regular objects are done.

Command buffers can be created and then executed many times if needed.

See Also: Camera.AddCommandBuffer, CameraEvent, Graphics.ExecuteCommandBuffer.
