Installation

Install the package through the Package Manager

Using the shader graph functions requires the Shader Graph to be installed and is a dependency for the package. Make sure to click Install/Upgrade when prompted about it.

When importing the files, make sure to have all the files selected except for:

  • The Sample folder if you do not want the samples
  • The Shaders folder if you do not want the shader functions for reading arrays

Once the files are selected, click the import button

Scripting

For creating your own scripts and GUI using a Texture 2D Array, view the respective Scripting API pages for details on each set of functions and how to implement them into your own code.

Note that all scripts except compression require the Unity Editor to function.
