Texture Import Guide

Image Type

Type of the texture to be generated. Available options are:

• 2D - 2D Texture. This is the most commonly used type of texture. These textures are used in various materials and be mapped to 3D meshes, GUI elements, etc.
• 3D - 3D texture. This type of textures can be used for volumetric effects or color variations.
• Cube - cubemap texture. It can be used for you world's environment or for Environment Probes. The imported cubemap must be oriented the following way:
• 2D Array - array of 2D textures. These textures can be used for terrain details, etc.

Mipmap Type

Type of filtering to be used for mipmap generation. Available options are:

• Box - choose this type to use simple box filter for mipmap generation.
  Notice

  If a texture contains very narrow features (e.g., lines), then aliasing artifacts may be very pronounced. In this case it might be better to choose the Combined option.
• Point - choose this type to use point filtration for mipmap generation.
• Combined - choose this type to use improved filter for mipmap generation.

Image Format

Defines image pixel format: bit depth and channels used. Compressed formats are supported. The default format is RGB8.

Width

Texture width (a power of 2). Source image width is used by default.

Height

Texture height (a power of 2). Source image height is used by default

Invert G Channel

Enable inversion of the green channel of the imported image. Depending on what game engine or 3D software package you use, the way in how these programs handle normal maps can be different. This option is used to simplify conversion of normal maps from different source platforms.
