Possible to load image from desktop not url

Questions & Answers
1

Hi hope someone can help here, I know how to load an image from a URL but is it possible to load from a local file such as the C: Drive?

I cant find any reference at the moment and don’t know if it is a security issue which is why you are unable to do so.

Any help would be appreciated.

thank you

are you trying to make a photo viewer? I think that it is certainly possible to do this, but typically you just want to drag the files into your project. A URL can also be used to load files. “http://www.myfile.com” would work about the same as “c:/users/me/myfile.jpg” I believe. You can even find files that are in your project folder using C# like this

string fileLocation = Application.dataPath + @"/Resources/mypic.jpg";

Thank you, Il try this now and let you know what happens.

What I am trying to achieve is a system where the user can take a photo of them self for use within the game. I have the webcam and photo function working, but didn’t have any look when it came to loading the file to my texture.

I will try your solution now and see it works, appreciate the help.
