Material.SetTexture

SetTexture(propertyName: string, texture: Texture): void;
void SetTexture(string propertyName, Texture texture);
def SetTexture(propertyName as string, texture as Texture) as void
SetTexture(nameID: int, texture: Texture): void;
void SetTexture(int nameID, Texture texture);
def SetTexture(nameID as int, texture as Texture) as void

Description

Set a named texture.

Many shaders use more than one texture. Use SetTexture to change the propertyName texture.

Common texture names used by Unity's builtin shaders:
"_MainTex" is the main diffuse texture. This can also be accessed via mainTexture property.
"_BumpMap" is the normal map.
"_Cube" is the reflection cubemap.
