    Hey all,

    I've searched online about converting a 2D Array (specifically NDArray) to a Texture2D but haven't found anything on this.

    Is this possible? I have a project that involves taking an output of a function which is an NDArray (2D array - Image) and then displaying it on a canvas which requires it to be a texture.

    Thanks.

    I mean, you could convert it to one by taking the data from the array to create a new blank texture2d and then use setpixels but... that's going to be pretty slow when you could just use a mesh and set its vertex colours instead. Even that's not terribly efficient, but it'd certainly be faster.
