# RenderBuffer

> Color or depth buffer part of a RenderTexture.

## Definition

* **Type:** Struct
* **Namespace:** [UnityEngine](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEngine.CoreModule

```csharp
public struct RenderBuffer
```

## Remarks

A single [RenderTexture](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/rendertexture.md) object represents both color and depth buffers, but many complex rendering algorithms require using the same depth buffer with multiple color buffers or vice versa.

This class represents either a color or a depth buffer part of a RenderTexture.
