Use the API to create a 3D texture via script.
Texture3DFor example:
// Set the texture parametersint size = 32;TextureFormat format = TextureFormat.RGBA32;bool mipChain = false;// Create a 3D texture with a width, height and depth of 32 pixelsTexture3D texture = new Texture3D(size, size, size, format, mipChain);
Example
The following example creates an instance of the Texture3D class, populates it with color data, then saves it to your project as a serialized asset file.
using UnityEditor;using UnityEngine;public class ExampleEditorScript : MonoBehaviour{ [MenuItem("CreateExamples/3DTexture")] static void CreateTexture3D() { // Set the texture parameters int size = 32; TextureFormat format = TextureFormat.RGBA32; TextureWrapMode wrapMode = TextureWrapMode.Clamp; // Create the texture and apply the parameters Texture3D texture = new Texture3D(size, size, size, format, false); texture.wrapMode = wrapMode; // Create a 3-dimensional array to store color data Color[] colors = new Color[size * size * size]; // Populate the array so that the x, y, and z values of the texture map to red, blue, and green colors float inverseResolution = 1.0f / (size - 1.0f); for (int z = 0; z < size; z++) { int zOffset = z * size * size; for (int y = 0; y < size; y++) { int yOffset = y * size; for (int x = 0; x < size; x++) { colors[x + yOffset + zOffset] = new Color(x * inverseResolution, y * inverseResolution, z * inverseResolution, 1.0f); } } } // Copy the color values to the texture texture.SetPixels(colors); // Apply the changes to the texture and upload the updated texture to the GPU texture.Apply(); // Save the texture to your Unity Project AssetDatabase.CreateAsset(texture, "Assets/Example3DTexture.asset"); }}
