TextureFormat

Description

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. Also, only the Texture2D class supports texture creation from script with Crunch compression texture formats.

Additional resources: Texture2D, texture assets.
