Hi,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to export a Runtime Virtual Texture as a JPEG or PNG or any type of image file? I only getting the the options to export as an “Unreal object text”.

Thank you,

Aidan

Sample the RVT onto a material and then create a render target to bake the material onto a new texture. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs3uyYrKKI4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs3uyYrKKI4)
