Question by nomadic · Aug 18, 2012 at 02:54 AM · texture2ddisablemipmap

Disabling mipmapping for a texture generated in code during run-time.

I'm generating several small textures (Texture2D) during run-time. They are very small at only 32x32 pixels, but for that reason they need to be crisp. Changing the filter mode to Point was simple and while running in the Unity editor they appear very sharp. In a browser however they are strongly mipmapped and blurry. I've already tried changing Texture.mipMapBias with no luck.

What I really need but can't find is a way to disable mipmapping for these texture.

The closest thing I've found is TextureImporter.mipmapEnabled, but this seems to be an editor function and I don't know how to apply it, if it is possible.

My other thought was changing something in quality settings, but I haven't found anything in there either.

I'll appreciate any help, thanks!

When you create your Texture set the mipmap parameter to false.

Unity 4.6 has not the mipmap parameter, do you know how to do the same in this version?

@diebeimdunkeln

As far as i know nothing has changed in 4.6. However it looks like the documentation link has changed. I'll edit my answer above.
