Description

Compute Shader asset.

Compute shaders are programs that run on the GPU outside of the normal rendering pipeline. They correspond to compute shader assets in the project (.compute files).

Compute shaders need a fairly modern GPU and are only available when using DirectX 11 right now.

See Also: SystemInfo.supportsComputeShaders, ComputeBuffer class, Compute Shaders.

Functions

Dispatch	Execute a compute shader.
FindKernel	Find ComputeShader kernel index.
SetBuffer	This function can either set an input or output compute buffer.
SetFloat	Set a float parameter.
SetFloats	Set multiple consecutive float parameters at once.
SetInt	Set an integer parameter.
SetInts	Set multiple consecutive integer parameters at once.
SetTexture	Set a texture parameter.
SetVector	Set a vector parameter.

Inherited members

Variables

hideFlags	Should the object be hidden, saved with the scene or modifiable by the user?
m_CachedPtr
m_InstanceID
name	The name of the object.

Functions

GetHashCode
GetInstanceID	Returns the instance id of the object.
ToString	Returns the name of the game object.

Static Functions

Destroy	Removes a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediate	Destroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
DontDestroyOnLoad	Makes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene.
FindObjectOfType	Returns the first active loaded object of Type type.
FindObjectsOfType	Returns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
Instantiate	Clones the object original and returns the clone.

Operators

bool	Does the object exist?
operator !=	Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==	Compares if two objects refer to the same.
