Inheritence

Summary

A texture is an image used in rendering. Can be a static texture loaded from disk, or a dynamic texture rendered to by code. Can also be 2D, 3D (multiple slices), or a cube texture (6 slices).

Properties

Depth	Depth of a 3D texture in pixels, or slice count for 2D texture arrays, or 6 for slices of cubemap.
HasAnimatedSequences
Height	Height of the texture in pixels.
ImageFormat	Image format of this texture.
Index	Texture index. Bit raw dog and needs a higher level abstraction.
IsError	Whether this texture is an error or invalid or not.
IsLoaded	Whether this texture has finished loading or not.
LastUsed	Returns how many frames ago this texture was last used by the renderer
Mips	Number of mip maps this texture has.
SequenceCount	The count of sequences in this texture, if any. The rest of the sequence data is encoded into the texture itself.
SequenceData	If this texture is a sprite sheet, will return information about the sheet, which is generally used in the shader. You don't really need to think about the contents.
Size	Returns a Vector2 representing the size of the texture (width, height)
Width	Width of the texture in pixels.

Methods

Clear	Clear this texture with a solid color
Dispose	Will release the handle for this texture. If the texture isn't referenced by anything else it'll be released properly. This will happen anyway because it's called in the destructor. By calling it manually you're just telling the engine you're done with this texture right now instead of waiting for the garbage collector.
Finalize
GetBitmap
GetPixel	Reads a single pixel color.
GetPixel3D	Reads a single pixel color from a volume or array texture.
GetPixels	Reads pixel colors from the texture at the specified mip level
GetPixels3D
GetSequenceFrameCount	Get the frame count for this sequence
MarkUsed	Tells texture streaming this texture is being used. This is usually automatic, but useful for bindless pipelines.
Update
Update3D

Static Properties

Black	1x1 solid black opaque texture.
Invalid	1x1 solid magenta colored texture.
Transparent	1x1 fully transparent texture.
White	1x1 solid white opaque texture.

Static Methods

Create	Begins creation of a custom texture. Finish by calling Sandbox.Texture2DBuilder.Finish.
CreateArray	Begins creation of a custom texture array. Finish by calling Sandbox.TextureArrayBuilder.Finish.
CreateCube	Begins creation of a custom cube texture. (A texture with 6 sides) Finish by calling Sandbox.TextureCubeBuilder.Finish.
CreateCustom	Begins creation of a custom texture. Finish by calling Sandbox.TextureBuilder.Create(System.String,System.Boolean,System.ReadOnlySpan{System.Byte},System.Int32).
CreateFromSvgSource
CreateRenderTarget	Begins creation of a render target. Finish by calling Sandbox.TextureBuilder.Create(System.String,System.Boolean,System.ReadOnlySpan{System.Byte},System.Int32).
CreateVolume	Begins creation of a custom 3D texture. Finish by calling Sandbox.Texture3DBuilder.Finish.
Find	Try to get an already loaded texture.
Loadobsolete	Try to load a texture from given filesystem, by filename.
LoadAsyncobsolete	Load a texture asynchronously. Will return when the texture is loaded and valid. This is useful when loading textures from the web.
LoadAvatar	Load avatar image of a Steam user (with a certain size if supplied).
LoadFromFileSystem	Try to load a texture from given filesystem, by filename.
LoadFromFileSystemAsync	Load a texture asynchronously. Will return when the texture is loaded and valid. This is useful when loading textures from the web, or without any big loading hitches.
