Parameters

Description

Sets current render target.

This function sets which RenderTexture or a RenderBuffer combination will be rendered into next. Use it when implementing custom rendering algorithms, where you need to render something into a render texture manually.

Variants with mipLevel and face arguments enable rendering into a specific mipmap level of a RenderTexture, or specific cubemap face of a cubemap RenderTexture.

The function call with colorBuffers array enables techniques that use Multiple Render Targets (MRT), where fragment shader can output more than one final color.

Calling SetRenderTarget with just a RenderTexture argument is the same as setting RenderTexture.active property.
