Blit into Texture2DArray slice not working in WebGL

[maxime_unity4]

I am trying to copy the data from a texture into a RenderTexture set as array.

I wanted to use Graphics.CopyTexture but it isn't supported in WebGl so I fallback to using Graphics.Blit.

Blitting from a texture into the first slice of the Texture2DArray works fine, but all other indices only work in the editor and not on the WebGL build (using WebGL 2).

here is an image of the issue (left plane shows the source texture, right plane shows the texture array at slice 1)

Here are the C# code and shader code:

C#

public class TextureArrayTest : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Material textureArrayMat;
    public Texture2D source;
    public RenderTexture destination;

    void Start()
    {
        destination = new RenderTexture(512, 512, 16);
        destination.dimension = UnityEngine.Rendering.TextureDimension.Tex2DArray;
        destination.volumeDepth = 2;
        destination.Create();
        textureArrayMat.SetTexture("_TextureAray", destination);

        Graphics.Blit(source, destination, sourceDepthSlice: 0, destDepthSlice: 1);
    }
}

Shader

Shader "Unlit/texture_array_test"
{
    Properties
    {
        _TextureAray("Texture", 2DArray) = " " {}
    }
    SubShader
    {
        Tags { "RenderType"="Opaque" }
        LOD 100

        Pass
        {
            CGPROGRAM
            #pragma vertex vert
            #pragma fragment frag

            #include "UnityCG.cginc"

            struct appdata
            {
                float4 vertex : POSITION;
                float2 uv : TEXCOORD0;
            };

            struct v2f
            {
                float2 uv : TEXCOORD0;
                float4 vertex : SV_POSITION;
            };

            UNITY_DECLARE_TEX2DARRAY(_TextureAray);

            v2f vert (appdata v)
            {
                v2f o;
                o.vertex = UnityObjectToClipPos(v.vertex);
                o.uv = v.uv;
                return o;
            }

            fixed4 frag (v2f i) : SV_Target
            {
                fixed4 col = UNITY_SAMPLE_TEX2DARRAY(_TextureAray, float3(i.uv, 1));
                return col;
            }
            ENDCG
        }
    }
}

Am doing something wrong or is this a bug ?

Found the same problem, and unfortunately no solution. Did you perhaps already find one? I’ve created a Bug Report for it, will reply here again if they answer it

EDIT:

Ok I’m back… So I created this thread and some friendlies helped me out:

https://forum.unity.com/threads/blit-to-from-rendertexture-texture2darray-slice-not-working-in-webgl-built-in-and-urp.1311077/#post-8294612

The good news is that apparently the only thing I actually needed to do is this:

Shader shader = Shader.Find(“Hidden/BlitCopy”); Material mat = new Material(shader);

Then the Blit needs to include mat as an argument. Example:

Graphics.Blit(sourceTexture, destinationTexture, mat, 0, 1);

Try it out, maybe it works for you too! Definitely a bug, but until they fix it that’s a way to make it work…
