Both the Create and Configure Array windows have the same options with the
Opening the Creation/Configure Window
You can open the Create/Configure Array windows through the Tools section in the toolbar or in the context menu in the Project window
You can also open the windows with textures or an array pre-assigned by having textures or an array selected while opening the window
Modifying Textures
Displays the textures that will be input into the output Texture Array
Textures can be added, removed, and re-arranged with any warnings or errors with an individual texture appearing beneath it.
Textures can be added through the GUI but can also be dragged into the window and will be added to the current textures.
The Configure Array window has more options when adding textures as you can update individual textures in the array without re-creating it as well as info for when the textures will exceed the original depth of the array.
In the Configure Array window you can also save textures to any folder by clicking the Save Texture button. This is not restricted to the project files and can be saved anywhere on your computer
