Closesrc | The source texture. The texture must be a Texture2D or Cubemap. |
dst | The destination texture. The texture must be a Texture2D, Texture2DArray, Cubemap, or CubemapArray. The texture must also be uncompressed and correspond to a supported RenderTextureFormat. |
srcElement | The element in the source texture to copy from. Use CubemapFace if src is a Cubemap. Set the value to 0 if src is a 2D texture. |
dstElement | The element in the source texture to copy to. For example, the CubemapFace in a Cubemap or the slice in a texture array. Set the value to 0 if `dst` is a 2D texture. |
Adds a command to copy the pixel data from one texture, convert the data into a different format, and copy it into another texture.
This method adds a command to convert and copy pixel data from one texture to another on the GPU.
When you use ConvertTexture
, Unity does the following:
dst
texture.src
texture to the temporary render texture, and converts to the format of dst
.dst
texture.This means it might be faster to convert the texture before you load it into Unity. Or if you can create dst
as a render texture, you can use CommandBuffer.Blit instead.
You can use textures with different sizes for src
and dst
.ConvertTexture
doesn't support the following conversions:
You can't use ConvertTexture
if you use OpenGL with MacOS. Depending on your graphics API, you might not be able to do some types of conversions. For more information on compatibility, see SystemInfo.copyTextureSupport, CopyTextureSupport and CommandBuffer.CopyTexture.
To copy the converted texture from the GPU to the CPU, use Texture2D.RequestIntoNativeArray.
