Texture2D.GetRawTextureData

Returns

byte[] Raw texture data as a byte array.

Description

Get raw data from a texture.

This function returns the raw texture data as a byte array, which you can then use with Texture2D.LoadRawTextureData. This allows you to serialize and load textures of any format (including compressed ones), and to load them back into a texture later.
