Format used when creating textures from scripts.
using UnityEngine;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { // Create a new alpha-only texture and assign it // to the renderer's material Texture2D texture = new Texture2D(128, 128, TextureFormat.Alpha8, false); GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTexture = texture; } }
Note that not all graphics cards support all texture formats, use SystemInfo.SupportsTextureFormat to check.
