data | Raw data array to initialize texture pixels with. |
size | Size of data in bytes. |
Fills texture pixels with raw preformatted data.
This function fills texture pixel memory with raw data. This is mostly useful for loading compressed texture format data into a texture.
Passed data should be of required size to fill the whole texture according to its width, height, data format and mipmapCount; otherwise a UnityException is thrown. Mipmaps are laid out in memory starting from largest, with smaller mip level data immediately following. For example, a 16x8 texture of RGBA32 format with no mipmaps can be filled with a 512-byte array (16x8x4).
For runtime texture generation, it is also possible to directly write into texture data via GetRawTextureData that returns a Unity.Collections.NativeArray
. This can be faster since it avoids a memory copy that LoadRawTextureData would do.
Call Apply after setting image data to actually upload it to the GPU.
