How to convert .png to texture from file path?
I am trying to create a texture from .png file. I have the path to the file in a string. I just don't know how to turn it into a texture.
string theFilePath;
Texture2D tex = new Texture2D(2, 2);
// This is where I am stuck as the function takes an byte[]. And I do not know how to get that from a png filepath
// tex.LoadImage(imageAsset.bytes);
You need to use C#'s File class to read in the image from disk. When you read it, you have the option to read it in as a series of bytes. These are the bytes that you can feed to Unity's runtime image importer, which is what LoadImage does.
Here's the script reference to get you started: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
There are a number of tutorials on reading in the bytes of a file from disk.
Good luck!
