UKismetRenderingLibrary::ImportFileAsTexture2D
#include "Kismet/KismetRenderingLibrary.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable
Description
Loads an image file from disk and creates a new transient Texture2D from it.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Returns nullptr if the file can't be found, isn't a supported format, or fails to decode — always check the result before using it.
- • The resulting texture is transient and not saved as an asset; it exists only in memory for the current session unless you explicitly package it.
- • Reads from an arbitrary filesystem path, so never pass unsanitized user or network input as Filename in a shipping title.
