[Solved] 3D texture rendering problem

Hey guys,
did anyone find a way how to render into 3d texture with floating point format?
Here's what I tried already:

1. Create Texture3D with float/half RGBA format and fill it manually with SetPixels. Not supported.
2. Create 3d RenderTexture and render directly into it. I didn't find a way how to bind specific depth slice as a render target and SV_RenderTargetArrayIndex semantic doesn't work, so I can't use geometry shader to select depth slice either.
3. Use RWTexture + Compute shader (didn't try it yet). I suppose that will work but I really want to avoid compute shader to make it work on Mac.

Did I overlook something? Or does the above work for someone?

 

isn't it the same problem SEGI is facing, if yes it will come later to unity lol.

 

Had to google what SEGI is and it looks like it is limited by Apple and its inability to update OpenGL version on Mac. This is a different issues. Rendering into volume textures is with us for at least 10 years (even on Mac now). This one is on Unity.

 

Well segi (as in sonic ether global illumination) also have problem with 3D textures and Aras had intervene in his thread to say fix is coming!

To create cascaded GI the segi need to render into 3d textures

 

I see, that's the same problem I have. Thanks. At least is it official now. I somehow couldn't believe it isn't possible. I guess I'll stick to compute shaders then. I don't believe 5.4 will be stable anytime soon. I still remember 5.0 release

 

I think they added a fix somewhere in the forum, not sure

I think it's there?

 

No, I don't care about the mip-mapping part. I just want to render into 3d texture and Aras said it is new in 5.4.
