To enable Virtual Texture Streaming automatically for textures during import, you need to configure a specific setting in the Editor's Project Settings.
Configuring Automatic Virtual Texture Enabling
The method to enable virtual textures automatically upon importing new textures is through the Editor's preferences.
Here's where you find the setting:
- Location: Project Settings window
- Category Path: Editor > Texture Import > Virtual Textures
Within this category, you will find a setting that allows you to define a minimum size threshold.
Editor Setting Detail:
- Setting Function: Automatically enable the Virtual Texture Streaming texture setting for textures larger than or equal to this specified size.
- Impact: This setting only affects textures imported after the setting is configured. It will not affect existing textures that are already in your project.
Therefore, to ensure newly imported textures larger than a certain size automatically have Virtual Texture Streaming enabled, navigate to the mentioned Project Settings location and set the desired size threshold before importing those textures.
