Compute Shader Multidimensional Arrays

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to define and pass multidimensional arrays in shaders / compute shaders.

If i have a variable within the shader HLSL code like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. float floatAry[17][17][17];

and try to pass an array by script:

Code (CSharp):

1. computeShader.SetFloats("floatAry", new float[17, 17, 17]);

i recieve an error :error CS1503: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'float[*,*,*]' to 'float'
as i appearantly only can pass a single float or onedimensional array of floats




I also tried to use a RWStructuredBuffer in HLSL code:

Code (CSharp):

1. RWStructuredBuffer<float> floatAryBuffer[17][17];

and pass an array by script:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. int[,,] floatAry = new int[17, 17, 17];
3. ComputeBuffer floatAryBuffer = new ComputeBuffer(floatAry.Length, sizeof(float));
4. computeShader.SetBuffer(kernel, "floatAryBuffer", floatAryBuffer);
5. floatAryBuffer.SetData(floatAry);

what doesnt throw an error at this point, but at:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. computeShader.Dispatch(kernel, 1, 1, 1);

with this code in shader:

Code (CSharp):

1. [numthreads(1, 1, 1)]
2. void CSMain(uint3 id : SV_DispatchThreadID)
3. {
4.     float value = floatAryBuffer[id.x][id.y][id.z];
5. }

causes an error "sampler array index must be a literal expression"



Is there a way to pass multidimensional arrays to ComputeShaders or can i only pass onedimensional arrays?
