Depth buffer render to texture

[uk_resistant]

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

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/Graphics.SetRenderTarget.html

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

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RenderTexture-depth.html


This article is probably relevnat too

I hope this helps?
Let me know if you need any more information and I'll do my best


Thanks!
