# Render Texture Inspector window reference > Explore the settings for a Render Texture. The Render Texture inspector is similar to the [Texture Inspector](/engine/6000.5/manual/materials-and-shaders/textures/textures-reference/class-texture-importer.md). The Render Texture inspector displays the current contents of Render Texture in real-time and can be an invaluable debugging tool for effects that use render textures. | **Property** | **Description** | | ---------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Dimension** | Set the number of dimensions of the Render Texture. For more information, refer to [Dimension dropdown](#dimension-dropdown). | | **Size** | Set the size of the Render Texture in pixels. The maximum size depends on the platform. | | **Anti-Aliasing** | Set the number of antialiasing samples Unity applies. The options are **None**, **2 samples**, **4 samples**, or **8 samples**. If you select **None**, Unity doesn't apply antialiasing. | | **Enable Compatible Format** | If you enable this property, Unity converts the **Color Format** and **Depth Stencil Format** to compatible formats, if the platform doesn't support the formats you select. | | **Color Format** | Set the [GraphicsFormat](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/experimental/rendering/graphicsformat.md) of the color buffer of the Render Texture. If you select **None**, Unity doesn't allocate a color buffer for this Render Texture. | | **Depth Stencil Format** | Set the [GraphicsFormat](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/experimental/rendering/graphicsformat.md) of the depth/stencil buffer of the Render Texture. If you select **None**, Unity doesn't allocate a depth/stencil buffer for this Render Texture. The stencil buffer is a general purpose buffer that allows you to store an additional unsigned 8-bit integer (0 to 255) for each pixel Unity draws to the screen. | | **Mipmap** | Allocate a [mipmap](/engine/6000.5/manual/materials-and-shaders/textures/textures-getting-started/texture-mipmaps-introduction.md) for the Render Texture. | | **Auto-generate** | Automatically generate a mipmap. If you disable this property, use the [`RenderTexture.GenerateMips`](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendertexture/generatemips.md) API to generate a mipmap manually. Alternatively, choose which mipmap level to render into when you use [`Graphics.SetRenderTarget`](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/graphics/setrendertarget.md) and [`Rendering.CommandBuffer.SetRenderTarget`](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendering/commandbuffer/setrendertarget.md). This property is visible only if you enable **Enable Mip Maps**. | | **Dynamic Scaling** | Use [dynamic resolution](/engine/6000.5/manual/cameras/resolution-scale/dynamic-resolution.md) to resize the Render Texture. If you disable this property, the Render Texture stays the same size regardless of the camera's **Dynamic Resolution** setting. | | **Random Write** | Allow shaders to write into arbitrary locations of the color buffer of the Render Texture. Refer to [`RenderTexture.enableRandomWrite`](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityengine/rendertexture/enablerandomwrite.md) for more information. | | **Wrap Mode** | Control how Unity wraps the texture. For more information, refer to [Wrap Mode dropdown](#wrap-mode-dropdown). | | **Filter Mode** | Control how the sampling of the texture uses nearby pixels. For more information, refer to [Filter Mode dropdown](#filter-mode-dropdown). | | **Aniso Level** | Set the anisotropic filtering level of the texture. This increases texture quality when you view the texture at a steep angle. Use anisotropic filtering for floor, ground, and road textures. This property is visible only if you set **Depth Stencil Format** to **None**. | | **Shadow Sampling Mode** | Select the sampling technique the GPU uses if the render texture is used as a [shadow map](/engine/6000.5/manual/lighting-overview/shadows/shadow-realtime/shadow-mapping.md). This property is only visible if **Depth Stencil Format** is not set to **None**, and only has an effect if you set **Color Format** to **None**. | ## Dimension dropdown | **Value** | **Description** | | ------------ | --------------------------------------------- | | **2D** | Set the Render Texture as a 2D texture. | | **2D Array** | Set the Render Texture as a 2D texture array. | | **Cube** | Set the Render Texture as a cubemap. | | **3D** | Set the Render Texture as 3D texture. | ## Wrap Mode dropdown | **Value** | **Description** | | --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Repeat** | Tile the texture to create a repeating pattern. | | **Clamp** | Stretch the edges of the texture. This is useful for preventing wrapping artifacts when you map an image onto a GameObject, and you don't want the texture to tile. | | **Mirror** | Tile the texture to create a repeating pattern that mirrors the texture at every integer boundary. | | **Mirror Once** | Mirror the texture once, then fall back to clamping. | | **Per-axis** | Set different **Wrap Mode** values for the u-axis and v-axis. For example, when you use latitude-longitude environment maps for reflection probes, you can use **Repeat** for the u-axis and **Clamp** for the v-axis. | ## Filter Mode dropdown | **Value** | **Description** | | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Point** | Use the nearest pixel. This makes the texture appear pixelated. | | **Bilinear** | Use a weighted average of the four nearest texels. This makes the texture appear blurry when you magnify it. | | **Trilinear** | Use a weighted average of the two nearest mipmap levels, which Unity filters using bilinear filtering. This creates a soft transition between mipmap levels, but the texture is slightly more blurry. | { /* area:graphics */ }
