Creating mipmap streamable textures *at runtime*

Is there any way to save a texture to disk *at runtime* (i.e. assume it's a massive amount of user generated content) so that it can work with Unity's texture mipmap streaming?

 

This probably depends on exactly which platform you're building/running. Writing files depends on the security of the platform. Reading files into memory which you can use with texturing is a separate consideration which may depend on the platform.

 

I'm well aware of how to write files. Assume this is for PC desktop. Assume this isn't my first time reading or writing binary data on many platforms. The question is "given some runtime generated textures, can we write them in a manner that then makes it possible to bind the texture mipmap streaming API to them.

Assume also that I think the current answer is no, so I'm probably asking Unity, unless I'm wrong.

 

thanks for confirming. We will handle this ourselves for now outside of unity with native texture handles.
