Class for handling 2D texture arrays.
Modern graphics APIs (e.g. D3D10 and later, OpenGL ES 3.0 and later, Metal etc.) support "texture arrays", which is an array of same size & format textures.
From the shader side, they are treated as a single resource, and sampling them needs an extra coordinate that indicates which array element to sample from.
Typically texture arrays are useful as an alternative for texture atlases, or in other cases where objects use a set of same-sized textures (e.g. terrains).
Currently in Unity texture arrays do not have an import pipeline for them, and must be created from code, either at runtime or in editor scripts.
Using Graphics.CopyTexture is useful for fast copying of pixel data from regular 2D textures into elements of a texture array. From editor scripts,
a common way of creating serialized texture array is to create it, fill with data (either via Graphics.CopyTexture from regular 2D textures, or via SetPixels or
SetPixels32) and save it as an asset via AssetDatabase.CreateAsset.
Note that not all platforms and GPUs support texture arrays; for example Direct3D9 does not. Use SystemInfo.supports2DArrayTextures to check. Also, this class does not support Texture2DArray creation with a Crunch compression TextureFormat.
| allSlices | Read Only. This property is used as a parameter in some overloads of the CommandBuffer.Blit, Graphics.Blit, CommandBuffer.SetRenderTarget, and Graphics.SetRenderTarget methods to indicate that all texture array slices are bound. The value of this property is -1. |
| activeMipmapLimit | The number of high resolution mipmap levels from the texture that Unity doesn't upload to the GPU. (Read Only) |
| depth | Number of elements in a texture array (Read Only). |
| format | Texture format (Read Only). |
| ignoreMipmapLimit | This property causes a texture to ignore all texture mipmap limit settings. |
| mipmapLimitGroup | The name of the texture mipmap limit group that this texture is associated with. (Read Only) |
| Texture2DArray | Create a new texture array. |
| Apply | Copies changes you've made in a CPU texture to the GPU. |
| CopyPixels | Copies pixel data from another texture on the CPU. |
| GetPixelData | Gets the raw data from a texture. |
| GetPixels | Gets the pixel color data for a mipmap level of a slice as Color structs. |
| GetPixels32 | Gets the pixel color data for a mipmap level of a slice as Color32 structs. |
| SetPixelData | Sets the raw data of an entire mipmap level directly in CPU memory. |
| SetPixels | Sets the pixel colors of an entire mipmap level of a slice. |
| SetPixels32 | Sets the pixel colors of an entire mipmap level of a slice. |
| allowThreadedTextureCreation | Allow Unity internals to perform Texture creation on any thread (rather than the dedicated render thread). |
| currentTextureMemory | The amount of memory that all Textures in the scene use. |
| desiredTextureMemory | The total amount of texture memory, in bytes, that Unity would use if no constraints are applied. |
| GenerateAllMips | Can be used with Texture constructors that take a mip count to indicate that all mips should be generated. The value of this field is -1. |
| nonStreamingTextureCount | The number of non-streaming Textures in the scene. This includes instances of Texture2D and CubeMap Textures. This does not include any other Texture types, or 2D and CubeMap Textures that Unity creates internally. |
| nonStreamingTextureMemory | The amount of memory Unity allocates for non-streaming Textures in the scene. This only includes instances of Texture2D and CubeMap Textures. This does not include any other Texture types, or 2D and CubeMap Textures that Unity creates internally. |
| streamingMipmapUploadCount | How many times has a Texture been uploaded due to Texture mipmap streaming. |
| streamingRendererCount | Number of renderers registered with the Texture streaming system. |
| streamingTextureCount | Number of streaming Textures. |
| streamingTextureDiscardUnusedMips | This property forces the streaming Texture system to discard all unused mipmaps instead of caching them until the Texture memory budget is exceeded. This is useful when you profile or write tests to keep a predictable set of Textures in memory. |
| streamingTextureForceLoadAll | Force streaming Textures to load all mipmap levels. |
| streamingTextureLoadingCount | Number of streaming Textures with mipmaps currently loading. |
| streamingTexturePendingLoadCount | Number of streaming Textures with outstanding mipmaps to be loaded. |
| targetTextureMemory | Total texture memory usage in bytes after applying the memory budget and loading all textures. |
| totalTextureMemory | The total texture memory, in bytes, that Unity would use if all textures are loaded at full resolution. |
| hideFlags | Should the object be hidden, saved with the Scene or modifiable by the user? |
| name | The name of the object. |
| anisoLevel | Defines the anisotropic filtering level of the Texture. |
| dimension | Dimensionality (type) of the Texture (Read Only). |
| filterMode | Filtering mode of the Texture. |
| graphicsFormat | Returns the GraphicsFormat format or color format of a Texture object. |
| graphicsTexture | GraphicsTexture that represents the texture resource uploaded to the graphics device (read-only). |
| height | Height of the Texture in pixels (Read Only). |
| imageContentsHash | The hash value of the Texture. |
| isDataSRGB | Returns true if the texture pixel data is in sRGB color space (Read Only). |
| isReadable | Whether Unity stores an additional copy of this texture's pixel data in CPU-addressable memory. |
| mipMapBias | The mipmap bias of the Texture. |
| mipmapCount | How many mipmap levels are in this Texture (Read Only). |
| updateCount | This counter is incremented when the Texture is updated. |
| width | Width of the Texture in pixels (Read Only). |
| wrapMode | Texture coordinate wrapping mode. |
| wrapModeU | Texture U coordinate wrapping mode. |
| wrapModeV | Texture V coordinate wrapping mode. |
| wrapModeW | Texture W coordinate wrapping mode for Texture3D. |
| GetInstanceID | Gets the instance ID of the object. |
| ToString | Returns the name of the object. |
| GetNativeTexturePtr | Retrieve a native (underlying graphics API) pointer to the Texture resource. |
| IncrementUpdateCount | Increment the update counter. |
| Destroy | Removes a GameObject, component or asset. |
| DestroyImmediate | Destroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead. |
| DontDestroyOnLoad | Do not destroy the target Object when loading a new Scene. |
| FindAnyObjectByType | Retrieves any active loaded object of Type type. |
| FindFirstObjectByType | Retrieves the first active loaded object of Type type. |
| FindObjectsByType | Retrieves a list of all loaded objects of Type type. |
| Instantiate | Clones the object original and returns the clone. |
| InstantiateAsync | Captures a snapshot of the original object (that must be related to some GameObject) and returns the AsyncInstantiateOperation. |
| SetGlobalAnisotropicFilteringLimits | Sets Anisotropic limits. |
| SetStreamingTextureMaterialDebugProperties | This function sets mipmap streaming debug properties on all materials known by the mipmap streaming system. |
| bool | Does 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. |
