Question by impbox · Oct 16, 2017 at 02:17 AM · renderingshadersrendertextureocclusion

Render object ID to texture

Hi, I'm wanting to render a texture containing a unique ID (colour) for each object of interest. This doesn't have to be realtime so performance isn't critical.

In pure OpenGL this is trivial (set a uniform for each object to a different ID and render that to a texture), but I'm unsure about how to do this in Unity.

This is to determine both is an object is visible to the camera, but also to see how much of the screen it takes up for a "photography" mechanic.

Ok, managed to figure this out through a lot of trial and error.

Ended up using a cloned camera writing to a rendertexture with "Camera.SetReplacementShader" and a custom shader which just draws solid colours based on the object using [PerRendererData].
