Data buffer to hold data for compute shaders.
ComputeShader programs often need arbitrary data to be read & written into memory buffers. ComputeBuffer class is exactly for that - you can create & fill them from script code, and use them in compute shaders or regular shaders.
Compute shaders need a fairly modern GPU and are only available when using DirectX 11 right now. On shader side, ComputeBuffers map to StructuredBuffer<T> and RWStructuredBuffer<T> in HLSL.See Also: SystemInfo.supportsComputeShaders, ComputeShader class, Shader.SetGlobalBuffer, Material.SetBuffer, Compute Shaders.| count | Number of elements in the buffer (Read Only). |
