UKismetRenderingLibrary::RenderTargetCreateStaticTexture2DEditorOnly

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Kismet/KismetRenderingLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Creates a new static Texture2D asset from the current contents of a render target. Only works in the editor.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Editor-only: calling this in a packaged/cooked build has no effect and does not produce a usable asset.
• Displayed in Blueprint as "Render Target 2D Create Static Texture 2D Editor Only" (its BlueprintCallable DisplayName), not the C++ function name — search for that phrase when looking for it in the node picker.
• Marked UnsafeDuringActorConstruction — do not call from a construction script.

Signature

static UTexture2D* RenderTargetCreateStaticTexture2DEditorOnly(UTextureRenderTarget2D* RenderTarget, FString Name = "Texture", enum TextureCompressionSettings CompressionSettings = TC_Default, enum TextureMipGenSettings MipSettings = TMGS_FromTextureGroup);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
RenderTarget	UTextureRenderTarget2D*	The source render target to bake into a static texture asset.	—
Name	FString	Base name/path used when creating the new texture asset.	"Texture"
CompressionSettings	enum TextureCompressionSettings	Compression settings applied to the resulting texture.	TC_Default
MipSettings	enum TextureMipGenSettings	Mip generation settings applied to the resulting texture.	TMGS_FromTextureGroup

Return Type

UTexture2D*

Example

Bake a captured render target into an asset C++
