# Create a Render Texture

> Create a Render Texture so you can use it as the material on a GameObject.

A Render Texture is a type of [texture](/engine/6000.5/manual/materials-and-shaders/textures/textures-getting-started/textures.md) that Unity creates and updates at runtime.

You can set a camera to render into a Render Texture. You can then use the Render Texture as the material on a GameObject so the camera view appears on the GameObject.

To create a Render Texture, select **Assets** > **Create** > **Rendering** > Editor.
