"Baking" to 2d UV Map?
This question is actually simpler than described...
How do you show this Mesh.colors procedural color designation on a UV map?
Trying something like this yields a noise texture that seems different each time:
for(i=0;i< mesh.uv.Length;i++){
texture.SetPixel (mesh.uv[i].x, mesh.uv[i].y, colors[i]);
}
You aren't working on a UV map, you are working on the texture which expects pixel coordinates, not UVs (which are always [0,1]). Additionally you aren't interpolating the UVs to really draw the pixels you are only filling single distinct points as a mesh does not have as many vertices as the texture pixels - you could map a 4096x4096 texture on a quad with 4 vertices each in a corner and it would look perfect. yet if you would draw the UVs the way you do, you would get a color only in exactly the 4 corner points (if you calculated the pixel coordinate correctly. if you would keep it as it is you would get 4 pixels in top left due to the 0 and 1 only values on the 4 vertices)
Question is what you really try to achieve. Do you simply want to apply height*width pixels? if so simply use SetPixels or even better SetPixels32 as its faster. if you want to store something different best clarif what you want to calculate / bake in detail.
What you don't need to store down is the UV coordinate of the texture into the pixel cause thats a thing you can simply read out in the pixel shader again (its data you have for every single pixel at runtime on the gpu out of the box already)
