Title: Depth buffer render to texture
Post by: uk_resistant on June 26, 2022, 01:52:31 PM

Hello,

I am trying to render the depth buffer to a texture so I can use it for various post-process effects in Amplify shader.

My research suggests the functionality exists with Unity via script so I'm hoping it's easy to port to playmaker.


is this possible?


Thanks

Jamie D

Hi.
Do you have some reference

I can try although it's more of an educated guess at this point.


So..... This is how the texture would eventually look

(Basically a texture which shows depth on the z-axis)

Below are (what I think ) relevant Unity manual pages

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RenderTexture-depthBuffer.html (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RenderTexture-depthBuffer.html)

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Graphics.SetRenderTarget.html (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Graphics.SetRenderTarget.html)

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RenderBuffer.html (https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RenderBuffer.html)

This article is probably relevnat too

I hope this helps?
