Shader:sendImage

Sends a Texture to a Shader for writing. This is meant to be used with compute shaders and only works with uniforms declared as image2D, imageCube, image2DArray, and image3D. The normal Shader:send function accepts Textures and should be used most of the time.

Shader:sendImage(name, texture, slice, mipmap, access)

Arguments

Name	Type	Default	Description
name	string		The name of the image uniform.
texture	Texture		The Texture to assign.
slice	number	nil	The slice of a cube, array, or volume texture to use, or nil for all slices.
mipmap	number	1	The mipmap of the texture to use.
access	UniformAccess	'readwrite'	Whether the image will be read from, written to, or both.

Returns

Nothing
