Description

Render textures are textures that can be rendered to.

They can be used to implement image based rendering effects, dynamic shadows, projectors, reflections or surveillance cameras.

One typical usage of render textures is setting them as the "target texture" property of a Camera (Camera.targetTexture), this will make a camera render into a texture instead of rendering to the screen.

Keep in mind that render texture contents can become "lost" on certain events, like loading a new level, system going to a screensaver mode, in and out of fullscreen and so on. When that happens, your existing render textures will become "not yet created" again, you can check for that with IsCreated function.

As with other "native engine object" types, it is important to pay attention to the lifetime of any render textures and release them when you are finished using them with the Release function, as they will not be garbage collected like normal managed types.

See Also: Camera.targetTexture.

Static Variables

activeCurrently active render texture.

Variables

antiAliasingThe antialiasing level for the RenderTexture.
autoGenerateMipsMipmap levels are generated automatically when this flag is set.
bindTextureMSIf true and antiAliasing is greater than 1, the render texture will not be resolved by default. Use this if the render texture needs to be bound as a multisampled texture in a shader.
colorBufferColor buffer of the render texture (Read Only).
depthThe precision of the render texture's depth buffer in bits (0, 16, 24/32 are supported).
depthBufferDepth/stencil buffer of the render texture (Read Only).
descriptorThis struct contains all the information required to create a RenderTexture. It can be copied, cached, and reused to easily create RenderTextures that all share the same properties.
dimensionDimensionality (type) of the render texture.
enableRandomWriteEnable random access write into this render texture on Shader Model 5.0 level shaders.
formatThe color format of the render texture.
heightThe height of the render texture in pixels.
memorylessModeThe render texture memoryless mode property.
sRGBDoes this render texture use sRGB read/write conversions (Read Only).
useDynamicScaleIs the render texture marked to be scaled by the Dynamic Resolution system.
useMipMapRender texture has mipmaps when this flag is set.
volumeDepthVolume extent of a 3D render texture or number of slices of array texture.
vrUsageIf this RenderTexture is a VR eye texture used in stereoscopic rendering, this property decides what special rendering occurs, if any.
widthThe width of the render texture in pixels.

Constructors

RenderTextureCreates a new RenderTexture object.

Public Functions

GetNativeTexturePtrRetrieve a native (underlying graphics API) pointer to the texture resource.

Static Functions

DestroyУдаляет GameObject, Component или Asset.

Operators

boolDoes the object exist?
operator !=Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object.
