Title: Composing a (alpha-textured) sprite onto another sprite to make a hole
Post by: polphit on October 03, 2013, 11:00:22 am

Hello,

I would like to make a wall on which (at random position) a window is. I want to see scenes through the window.
So I want to
    1) make a wall sprite W
    2) render a window (a hole and its frame) sprite H onto W
    3) here, a region (in H) of alpha = 0 should be a hole in W after the composition

Can anyone help me to do it?
thank you in advance.

You can use render textures if you have Unity Pro. Or if you don't, you could use texture.readpixels & setpixels to read and modify the texture. This is a slow operation though, so you don't want to do this every frame.
