data | The array of data to use. |
size | The size of the data in bytes. |
Sets the raw data of an entire texture in CPU memory.
This method sets pixel data for the texture in CPU memory. Texture.isReadable must be true
, and you must call Apply after LoadRawTextureData
to upload the changed pixels to the GPU.
You can also use the following to write to a texture:
Texture2D.SetPixelData, which you can use to set a mipmap level instead of the entire texture.
GetRawTextureData, which returns a NativeArray
you can write to, and can be faster because it avoids copying memory.
The size of the data
array must fill the entire texture according to its width, height and mipmapCount, and the data layout must match the texture format. Otherwise LoadRawTextureData
fails.
For example, if the texture is 16 × 8 pixels and RGBA32 format with no mipmaps, the array must be a size of 512 bytes (16 × 8 × 4 bytes). You can use the experimental GraphicsFormatUtility.ComputeMipmapSize API to calculate the size of a mipmap level.
The array must start with mipmap level 0.
