### Remarks

This RenderTexture contains all of the data collected from all Terrain tiles that intersect the PaintContext. The RenderTexture is created by [PaintContext.CreateRenderTargets](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/terraintools/paintcontext/createrendertargets.md), and populated by one of the Gather functions ([PaintContext.GatherHeightmap](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/terraintools/paintcontext/gatherheightmap.md), [PaintContext.GatherAlphamap](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/terraintools/paintcontext/gatheralphamap.md) or [PaintContext.GatherNormals](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityengine/terraintools/paintcontext/gathernormals.md)).
