apply jpg texture to game object
I want to create a primitive and apply a pict.jpg that I have dragged into the assets folder. All the examples I've seen want you to do
myprimitive.renderer.material.mainTexture=Resources.Load("pict");//this works.
According to the docs though you can assign a texture like this
var texture : Texture;
renderer.material.mainTexture = texture;
When I load a jpg into assets it looks like it's a texture in the inspector, but
renderer.material.mainTexture="pict"; //does not work
Does resources load have to be used to apply a texture?
Thanks, Dan
Have you tried dragging it from the project view into the 'texture' slot that 'var texture : Texture' exposes in the inspector?
I have to do it dynamically as the primitives are created on the fly in the script.
I think you need to load the texture into a texture object if you want to assign it later.
So create a texture variable like the docs states, then load the texture into that. Later on, when you need it, assign the variable to the mainTexture property.
how do you load pict into the texture variable? texture="pict"; ?
