UKismetRenderingLibrary::RenderTargetCreateStaticVolumeTextureEditorOnly

function Engine Blueprint Since 5.0

#include "Kismet/KismetRenderingLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

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

Caveats & Gotchas

• Editor-only: has no effect in a packaged/cooked build.
• Blueprint DisplayName is "Render Target Volume Create Static Volume Texture Editor Only" rather than the C++ name.
• Baking large volume targets (e.g. 128^3 or higher) into an asset can produce very large uncompressed disk sizes; pick CompressionSettings deliberately for volumetric data.

Signature

static UVolumeTexture* RenderTargetCreateStaticVolumeTextureEditorOnly(UTextureRenderTargetVolume* RenderTarget, FString Name = "Texture", enum TextureCompressionSettings CompressionSettings = TC_Default, enum TextureMipGenSettings MipSettings = TMGS_FromTextureGroup);

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
RenderTarget	UTextureRenderTargetVolume*	The source volume render target to bake into a static volume 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

UVolumeTexture*

Example

Bake a volume render target into an asset C++

#if WITH_EDITOR
UVolumeTexture* BakedVolume = UKismetRenderingLibrary::RenderTargetCreateStaticVolumeTextureEditorOnly(FogVolumeRT, TEXT("/Game/Textures/T_BakedFog"));
#endif
